Abstract
A system and method for providing highly-available volume mount points is disclosed. According to one embodiment, in a system including a shared storage resource coupled to a server cluster and accessible by a node of said server cluster, a volume mount point is provided within the shared storage resource. According to another embodiment, the shared storage resource includes a base volume and a target volume and a volume mount point corresponding to the target volume is provided within the base volume. A first mount is configured corresponding to the target volume and a mount order dependency relationship is defined between the first mount and a second mount corresponding to the base volume. Embodiments of the present invention may be used to ensure that a new (secondary) node accesses a shared disk or volume in the same way it was accessed before a transition event (e.g., failover or switchover).
