ABSTRACT:
In a cluster of computing nodes having shared access to one or more volumes of data storage using a parallel file system, a method for managing the data storage includes selecting a first one of the nodes to serve as a session manager node, and selecting a second one of the nodes to serve as a session node for a data management application. A session of the data management application is created on the session node by sending a message from the session node to the session manager node, causing the session manager node to distribute information regarding the session among the nodes in the cluster. Responsive to the information distributed by the session manager node, events are received at the session node from the nodes in the cluster for processing by the data management application.
