Abstract
Apparatus and methods in a load balancer computing apparatus include, in aspects, determining if a master is functioning, and if the master is not functioning, then attempting to become the master by setting a master network identification in a master database table to a self network identification before at least one other slave sets a corresponding other slave network identification as the master network identification in the master database table. In other aspects, the apparatus and methods include assigning each of a group of commands to one of a plurality of slaves, storing the commands and a corresponding assignment in a database table, checking a command status in the database table for each of the group of commands, wherein the command status indicates whether or not the respective command has been executed; and executing a callback function when all the commands are executed.
