Cluster membership metadata is stored in a storage independent from the shared storage for at least one cluster. The cluster membership metadata is updated in response to an inclusion or exclusion request from a requesting host node comprising one of the host nodes identifying at least one other host node to include or exclude from a cluster. Access to at least one storage volume in the shared storage system is managed in response to the updating of the cluster membership metadata for the inclusion or exclusion request."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Controlling access to a shared storage system","description":"Provided are a system, method, and computer program product for controlling access to a shared storage system in communication with at least one cluster of host nodes.
