ABSTRACT:
Improved techniques for managing operations of clustered computing system are disclosed. The improved techniques provide protection against potential problems encountered in operation of clustered computing. More particularly, the improved techniques can be implemented as an integral solution that provide protection against undesired partitions in space and partitions in time. The improved techniques do not require any human intervention.
