ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed at rebooting a cluster while maintaining cluster operation. Cluster operation is automatically maintained during the reboot since at least one member of the cluster stays active during the process. An administrator triggers the reboot process and then does not have to perform any other steps during the reboot process. An algorithm executes which reboots members of the cluster at different times, while always maintaining operation of at least one member of the cluster.
