Abstract
A method for a name mapping module on a node to handle communication between a client process and a server process includes receiving from a client process a process handle and a message for a server process, mapping the process handle to an entry of the server process in a process table, reading the entry to retrieve (1) a node number of a node and (2) a process ID on the node, and sending the message with the process ID to the node. If the server process is not accepting messages, the method further includes waiting for the backup server process to take over for the server process before sending the message. If the server process or the node fails after the message was sent, the method further includes waiting for the backup server process to take over for the server process.217
