Publication number: 20180300210Abstract: A technique for processing a lock request is provided. A first lock server is a takeover lock server of a second lock server. The first lock server enters a silent state after learning that a fault occurs in the second lock server, where a silent range is a resource for which the second lock server has assigned permission. The first lock server receives an acquire lock request that is originally sent to the second lock server, and the first lock server assigns lock permission for a corresponding resource according to the acquire lock request if the second lock server has not assigned resource for the resource. By means of this solution, an impact range of a fault occurring in a lock server can be reduced, and stability of a lock management system is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2018Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Rui Feng, Guang Chen, Jun Liu
