ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomously overriding a global resource lock. The apparatus includes a determination module, an override module, and an assertion module. The determination module determines whether a global resource lock is owned by a peer resource controller and that the peer resource controller is offline in response to the peer resource controller owning the global resource lock. The atomic module atomically overrides ownership of the global resource lock from the peer resource controller. The assertion module asserts active ownership of the global resource lock. The apparatus, system, and method provide an autonomous override of the global resource lock, minimizing system downtime and user intervention.
