Method and system for synchronizing a set of software modules of a computing system distributed as a cluster of servers

Method of synchronizing a set of software modules (141, 181, 142, 143, 144, 145) of a computing system (10) distributed in several network interconnected (26, 30, 34) servers (121, 122, 123, 124, 125), each software module being executed on a server of the computing system for the management of a set (CA, CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5) of digital data, at least part of which is replicated on several software modules, in which the synchronization between two software modules of the set comprises a synchronization (102, 104, 110) of the common data that they manage, characterised in that it comprises the following steps:

• grouping together (106, 112) of software modules of the set, which are activated and synchronized mutually, into at least one synchronized sub-set (S1, S2) and identification of this sub-set, and
• for each candidate software module (14i) following its booting or rebooting, activated but not synchronized with at least one other software module of the set:
• search (100) for another activated software module of the set,
• if another activated software module is found and if it belongs to an identified sub-set, synchronization (102, 104) of the candidate software module with at least one (14j) of the software modules of this identified sub-set, and
• integration (106) of the candidate software module into the identified sub-set.
