摘要:
Disclosed is an exclusive control method in an I/O subsystem having an exclusive controller which is provided with an exclusive control table and which permits a host interface to use the I/O device when the I/O device is not used by any other host interface while prohibiting the use when another host interface is using the I/O device. The method comprises the steps of: allotting a logical path number to each of the host interfaces of each of the input/output interface portions; Judging whether or not the I/O device is being used by another host interface by reference to the exclusive control table when a request for use of the I/O device is input from a host interface to which a predetermined logical path number is allotted; permitting the host interface which has required for access to use the I/O device when the I/O device is not in use, while setting a flag indicating that the I/O device is "Occupied" in the exclusive control table in correspondence with the allotted logical path number; and changing the flag to a flag indicating that the I/O device is "Vacant" when the use of the I/O device is finished.
