Abstract
For use with a computer cluster having virtual memory logical devices associated therewith, a system and method for determining which of the virtual memory logical devices are shared devices and a computer cluster employing such system or method. The system includes: (1) a polling circuit that retrieves volume information from at least some of the virtual memory logical devices and (2) a matching circuit that determines which ones of the at least some of the virtual memory logical devices are shared devices as a function of the volume information.
