ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for providing a system and method for an efficient lock recovery. In one embodiment of the present invention, a multiple node networked system shares a resource such a shared storage. Among various other aspects of the present invention, when there is a change, such as a server failure, that prompts a recovery, the recovery can be performed in parallel among the nodes. A further aspect of an embodiment of the present invention includes recovering a lock with a higher level of exclusion prior to another lock with a lower level of exclusion.
