Abstract
A method and system for improving a shared memory file transfer setup and usage is provided. The method includes configuring network links connected between hardware nodes. For every shared storage link, each hardware node includes a command section and a data storage section. A storage capacity for a hardware disk drive is determined based on a number of the hardware nodes and the hardware disk drive is connected to the hardware nodes. A software agent is installed within each of the hardware nodes and properties for the network links are configured. Each software agent is enabled and a connectivity status, bandwidth, and loading condition are tested for each of the network links. Each hardware node is registered with the hardware disk drive and communications between the hardware disk drive and the hardware nodes are enabled via the network links.
