摘要: A system, method and computer program product for use in a server cluster having plural nodes implementing tier client-server computing architecture order to determine which of two or more partitioned subgroups has quorum. determination is made relative priorities the quorum awarded subgroup highest priority. The are determined by policy rules that evaluate comparative node application state information. information may include one client connectivity, priority, resource processing capability, memory availability, input/output etc. each can assign different weights types An interface be provided receiving specified application.
