A method and system for efficiently determining compatibility between a server node and a shared resource. The system includes a version control record that organizes metadata relating to the cluster and to data within the shared resource into a searchable format. A server node joining the cluster accesses the version control record at a known location ( 102 ). Prior to joining the cluster, the server node will use the version control record to determine compatibility with the disk header version ( 104 ), compatibility with the control record version ( 110 ), and compatibility with each data item in the version control record ( 112 ). In addition, the system may be used as a control mechanism for upgrades to system resources for existing cluster members.
