Abstract
In a cluster of computing nodes having shared access to one or more volumes of data storage using a parallel file system, a method for managing the data storage includes initiating a data management application in the cluster using a data management application programming interface (DMAPI) of the parallel file system. When a request submitted to the parallel file system is received on one of the nodes to perform an operation on a file in one of the volumes of data storage, a data management access right is obtained from the DMAPI responsive to the request The operation is performed on the file using the access right.
