  • Concurrent Node Self-Start in a Peer Cluster
    Publication number: 20090049172
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining a plurality of nodes to a cluster. Each node in the cluster maintains a respective membership list identifying each active member node of the cluster. Membership change messaging is managed relative to multiple concurrent start requests to ensure that a first node is added to the respective membership lists before broadcasting a membership change message (MCM) in response to which, the nodes of the cluster, inclusive of the first node, add the second node to the respective membership lists.
