Abstract
Implementing a high availability mode. A distributed computing environment includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes has an instance of a particular storage service. One or more of the instances have one or more cluster shared filesystems coupled to them. A method includes monitoring arrivals and departures of cluster shared file systems. The method further includes identifying the arrival of one or more clustered shared file systems previously attached to a different instance of the storage service on a different node and being accessible by following one or more namespace partitions located in that clustered shared file system. As a result, the method further includes connecting the instance of the storage service to the one or more arriving clustered shared file systems and exposing the one or more namespace partitions located in that clustered shared file system.
