ABSTRACT:
In distributed multinode data processing systems, mechanisms are employed to insure that the nodes are properly informed about the liveness of the other nodes in node groups in the network. In particular, the present invention employs group membership indicia as part of a mechanism for detecting that a node and/or its adapter have failed and have been recently restarted. Having detected this situation, group membership inconsistencies which it can engender are avoided.
