Abstract
The invention provides a storage system, and a method for operating a storag e system, that provides for relatively rapid and reliable takeover among a plurality of independent file servers. Each file server maintains a reliable communication path to the others. Each file server maintains its own state i n reliable memory. Each file server regularly confirms the state of the other file servers. Each file server labels messages on the redundant communicatio n paths, so as to allow other file servers to combine the redundant communication paths into a single ordered stream of messages. Each file serv er maintains its own state in its persistent memory and compares that state wit h the ordered stream of messages, so as to determine whether other file server s have progressed beyond the file server's own last known state. Each file server uses the shared resources (such as magnetic disks) themselves as part of the redundant communication paths, so as to prevent mutual attempts at takeover of resources when each file server believes the other to have faile d. Each file server provides a status report to the others when recovering from an error, so as to prevent the possibility of multiple file servers each repeatedly failing and attempting to seize the resources of the others.</SDO AB>
