Firewall clustering for multiple network servers

A firewall clustering system connects two or more firewalls between an internal network and an external network. The plurality of two or more firewalls are combined to supply high-availability and scaling of processing capacity. Firewalls maintain client-server state information. Flow controllers are connected to the firewalls and placed on both the internal “trusted” side and the external “untrusted” side of the firewalls. Flow controllers are placed on both sides of the firewalls to ensure that traffic for a given client-server session flows through the same firewall in both inbound and outbound directions. The firewalls perform filtering operations and / or network address translation (NAT) services. In both cases, the flow controllers supply high availability, scalability, and traffic distribution for the firewalls in the firewall cluster.

Method, apparatus and program storage device for providing failover for high availability in an N-way shared-nothing cluster system

A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing failover for continuous or near-continuous availability in an N-way logical shared-nothing cluster system is disclosed. Cluster application data space partitions are assigned to each node in the cluster and each node's or server software's internal architecture is partitioned in accordance with the application data partitions assigned to the node. Cluster-integrity protection is performed. A failover and recovery protocol is performed based upon the assigned partitions and the partitioned and bound internal architecture. Containment of the impact of failure is provided such that most of the application data space partitions are not impacted. Affected partition sets are failed over fast and in constant time and so actual load on the surviving nodes does not affect failover duration. When shared storage is not provided, synchronous log replication may be used to facilitate failover and log-based recovery.

System and method for preventing data corruption in computer system clusters

Systems, methods, apparatus and software can make use of coordinator resources and SCSI-3 persistent reservation commands to determine which nodes of a cluster should be ejected from the cluster, thereby preventing them from corrupting data on a shared data resource. Fencing software operating on the cluster nodes monitors the cluster for a cluster partition (split-brain) event. When such an event occurs, software on at least two of the nodes attempts to unregister other nodes from a majority of coordinator resources. The node that succeeds in gaining control of the majority of coordinator resources survives. Nodes failing to gain control of a majority of coordinator resources remove themselves from the cluster. The winning node can also proceed to unregister ejected nodes from shared data resources. These operations can be performed in parallel to decrease failover time. The software can continue to execute on all nodes to prevent additional problems should a node erroneously attempt to reenter the cluster.

Cluster system and failover method for cluster system

Provided is a failover method for a cluster system for realizing smooth failover of the guest OS's, even when there are many guest OS's, while reducing consumption of computer resources of a server. Smooth failover is realized by preventing competition during failover even when the number of guest OS's is increased. In a cluster configuration in which a slave / master cluster program is operated in a guest OS / host OS, the master cluster program (510) collects and transmits heartbeats of the slave cluster program, thereby realizing failure monitoring through the certain amount of heartbeats without depending on the number of guest OS's. Further, when the master cluster program monitors failures of the slave cluster program of its own computer to find a normal operation of the guest OS, the amount of communication through heartbeats is reduced by eliminating the necessity of communication to a standby system slave cluster program.

Cluster system

In a cluster that is composed of two computer nodes and has no common storage, mutual aliveness is monitored over networks. However, this is insufficient because a party node may be wrongly determined as inactive. If failover is performed according to wrong determination, the counterpart may be restored to a normal condition after the failover, so that both the two computers may operate as master. The two nodes to constitute the cluster and other computers to communicate with the cluster are connected by switches that can disable ports to which the computers are connected. A network control program that controls the switches changes the legality of use of ports to which the nodes are connected, synchronously with node failover.
