Abstract
A method and system for providing a shared data resource coordinator within a storage virtualizing data processing system is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first node of a plurality of nodes is configured to process requests to access a shared data resource on behalf of the plurality of nodes, where the plurality of nodes includes a logical volume configuration server configured to present a logical volume to one or more logical volume configuration clients. A second node is then selected from the plurality of nodes and configured to process requests to access the shared data resource on behalf of the plurality of nodes.
