Abstract

Techniques are provided for responding to the termination of a node by selecting another node, and assigning to the selected node the affinity relationships that existed between the terminated node and one or more objects. The resources that belong to the objects involved in the affinity relationships are remastered to the selected node. The selected node then performs recovery of the resources that had been opened by the terminated node and/or serves as a failover node to execute the transactions that had been executing on the terminated node.
