  • Synchronization testing of active clustered servers
    Patent number: 9998544
    Abstract: In a computing device that performs synchronization testing of a plurality of active clustered servers, a request to check synchronization between slave data stored and master data is received. The request includes master synchronization test values computed by a master node that include a number of records included in a dataset and a sum of modification time values for the records. Slave synchronization test values are computed that include a number of records included in the dataset of the slave data and a sum of modification time values for the records in the dataset of the slave data. The computed slave synchronization test values are compared to the master synchronization test values. A message is sent to the requesting device indicating the slave node is synchronized when the computed synchronization test values match or indicating the slave node is not synchronized when the computed synchronization test values do not match.
