Abstract
Improved techniques for dynamically altering configurations of clustered computing systems are disclosed. The improved techniques can be implemented to allow alteration of an existing configuration of a clustered computing system without having to completely shutdown the clustered computing system. As a result, the clustered computing system can provide uninterrupted services while the configuration of the clustered computing system is being dynamically altered, yet also safeguard against unwanted partitions in time or space.
