Abstract

See full text

A method for finding a resource requested by a node in a scalable system. The system interconnects a plurality of nodes, with at least one node being associated with at least one resource. Each resource has an active state, in which the resource is available to other nodes, and an inactive state, in which the resource is not available. The method includes automatically identifying resources which become available by switching from the inactive to the active state. The method also includes automatically informing the requesting node that the requested resource has become available.
