Abstract
A database management system provisions a database server that replicates assignments of resource identifiers to resources that are managed by another database server. Based at least in part on assignment of existing sets of identifiers to other database servers, the database management system identifies a set of identifiers that is distinct from these existing sets and assigns this set of identifiers to the provisioned database server. If the database management system detects an event that causes the database server to lose its ability to receive these assignments of identifiers from the other server, the database management system enables the database server to assign identifiers from its assigned set of identifiers.
