Example apparatus, methods, and computers prevent a split brain scenario in a pair of high availability servers by maintaining single writer access to a resource by controlling the resource according to a timer bounded arbitration protocol that controls self-termination of a writer process. One example method includes monitoring control of an arbitration (ARB) block by an active file system manager (FSM) and selectively causing a selection of a standby metadata controller (MDC) when control of the ARB block does not satisfy the timer bounded ARB protocol. The example method also includes selectively forcing a hardware reset of an apparatus running the active FSM and selectively establishing an FSM on a selected redundant MDC as a replacement FSM.
