Abstract
A site asymmetric topology reconciliation module (SATRM) provides a stable topology for nodes located at different sites of the cluster during loss and reconnection of communication links between the sites. The SATRM monitors the cluster topology for changes in communication links between nodes. When there is an unstable cluster topology due to a loss in the communication links, the SATRM severs links to one or more sites to create a stable topology. When a communication links recovers, the SATRM merges sites to create a stable topology with the sites connected with the recovered communication links.
