Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, program product and method support the dynamic modification of cluster communication parameters such as a fragmentation size parameter through controllably deferring the processing of a requested fragmentation size change in a source node until after receipt an acknowledgment message for at least one unacknowledged message sent by the source node to a plurality of target nodes. By controllably deferring such processing until it is confirmed that any such previously-unacknowledged messages sent by a source node have been received by any target nodes, synchronization between the source node and the target nodes may be obtained, and a fragmentation size change may occur in a coordinated fashion such that future messages from the source node to the target node will be processed by both the source and the target nodes using the modified fragmentation size parameter.
