Everything about Distributed lock manager
A distributed lock manager (DLM) runs in every machine in a cluster, with an identical copy of a cluster-wide lock database. Operating systems use lock managers to organise and serialise the access to resources. In this way a DLM provides software applications which are distributed across a cluster on multiple machines with a means to synchronize their accesses to shared resources. Wikipedia →
