WINDOWS MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENT SYNCHRONIZED REPOSITORY PROVIDER

摘要

A method and synchronized data repository provider that synchronize data of repositories among a plurality of computing nodes is disclosed. Each node includes a synchronized provider, which communicates with the synchronized providers in the other nodes to synchronize the data of the repositories. Th e communication is with data synchronization messages, which are multicast by a sending node via a multicast communication link to all of the other nodes. A synchronization scope as well as a class limits the data of a repository. A repository is initialized via a point-to-point communication link with anoth er node. The method and synchronized provider include the capability to handle response storms, lost messages and duplicate messages.
