Abstract
For managing partitioning in a cluster of nodes, each node is assigned a prime number for use in determining which partition should be activated following partitioning of the cluster. The cluster is monitored for partitioning. If partitioning is detected, a partition value is calculated from the product of the prime numbers assigned to each node in each partition. A node is activated only if it is within the partition having the greatest partition value.
