Consistent binding of shared storage across clustered servers

A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a computer readable storage device for binding shared storage in an information handling system, the instructions comprising:

• instructions for obtaining a unique identifier for a storage device, wherein the unique identifier includes information associated only with the storage device;
• instructions for determining if the unique identifier for the storage device is shared by a first node and a second node of a first server cluster;
• instructions for, in response to determining that the unique identifier for the storage device is shared by the first node and the second node, determining whether the storage device is bound with the first node by an existing binding label;
• instructions for determining whether the existing binding label is associated with a second server cluster;
• instructions for, in response to the existing binding label being associated with the second server cluster, deleting, by the first server cluster, the existing binding label;
• and
• instructions for in response to determining that the existing binding label is associated with the first server cluster, binding the storage device using the existing binding label.

An information handling system, comprising:

• a first server cluster having a first node and a second node;
• and
• a storage enclosure shared by the first node and the second node, the storage enclosure having a storage device;
• wherein the first server cluster is configured to:
• obtain a unique identifier for the storage device, wherein the unique identifier includes information associated only with the storage device;
• determine if the unique identifier of the storage device is shared by the first node and the second node;
• in response to determining that the unique identifier of the storage device is shared by the first node and the second node, determine whether the storage device is bound with the first node by an existing binding label;
• determine whether the existing binding label is associated with a second server cluster;
• in response to the existing binding label being associated with the second server cluster, delete the existing binding label;
• and
• in response to determining that the existing binding label is associated with the first server cluster, bind the storage device using the existing binding label.
