摘要:
A method of performing memory mapped input output operations to an alternate address space comprising: establishing a first instruction directed to a first memory mapped input output alternate address space associated with an adapter to store data in accordance with a definition of a z/Architecture; establishing a second instruction directed to the first memory mapped input output alternate address space associated with an adapter to load data in accordance with a definition of a z/Architecture; allocating at least one of a real resource and a virtual resource associated with the first alternate address space to a process; ensuring that the selected process corresponds with the process to which the resource is allocated. The process issues at least one of the first instruction and the second instruction and thereby causes execution of at least one of the store and load with the first alternate address space.

A method of managing memory mapped input output operations to an alternate address space comprising: executing a first instruction directed to a first memory mapped input output alternate address space of a machine associated with a first adapter to allocate a resource associated with the first adapter to a process in accordance with a definition of a z/Architecture; wherein a selected process issues at least one of a load and a store instruction executed in a problem state of the machine to a selected address location of a selected resource. The method further includes ensuring that the selected resource corresponds with the allocated resource and determining that the selected process corresponds with the process to which the resource is allocated.

A communication port of a communications interface of an information handling system comprises a plurality of virtual ports. A first command is issued to obtain information indicating a number of images of virtual ports supportable by the communications interface. A second command is then issued requesting the communications interface to virtualize the communication port. In response to the second command, one or more virtual switches are then configured to connect to the communication port, each virtual switch including a plurality of virtual ports, such that the one or more virtual switches are configured in a manner sufficient to support the number of images of virtual ports indicated by the obtained information. Thereafter, upon request via issuance of a third command, a logical link is established between one of the virtual ports of one of the virtual switches and a communicating element of the information handling system.

A method is provided for configuring a communication port of a communications interface of an information handling system into a plurality of virtual ports. A first command is issued to obtain information indicating a number of images of virtual ports supportable by the communications interface.

A processor node of a network is provided which includes one or more processors and a virtualized channel adapter. The virtualized channel adapter is operable to reference a table to determine whether a destination of the communication is supported by the virtualized channel adapter. When the destination is supported for routing via hardware, the virtualized channel adapter is operable to route the communication via hardware to at least one of a physical port and a logical port of the virtualized channel adapter. Otherwise, when the destination is not supported for routing via hardware, the virtualized channel adapter is operable to route the communication via firmware to a virtual port of the virtualized channel adapter. A corresponding method and a recording medium having information recorded thereon for performing such method are also provided herein.

An information processing system is provided which includes an interrupt table including a plurality of entries relating to interrupts requested by entries in a plurality of event queues. The entries of the interrupt table reference identifiers, and the identifiers are assigned to events from a pool of identifiers in accordance with an order in which the events occur.
摘要:
A system, method, and article of manufacture for synchronizing first and second time-of-day clocks on first and second computers, respectively, are provided. The first and second computers have first and second network interface cards with third and fourth clocks, respectively, thereon. The system utilizes time stamp values generated by the third and fourth clocks to synchronize the first and second time-of-day clocks.

Disclosed are a method of and system for providing time synchronization among first and second computer systems, where each of the computer systems includes hardware, operating system software and a layer of microcode operating between said hardware and said software. The method comprises the steps of using the microcode of the first computer system to provide a first timestamp, using the microcode of the second computer system to provide a second timestamp and a third timestamp, and using the microcode of the first computer system to provide a fourth timestamp. The method comprises the further steps of using the first, second, third and fourth timestamps to determine a timing difference between the first and second computer systems, and adjusting the timing among said first and second computer systems on the basis of said determined timing difference. Preferably, the first and second computer systems are connected together by a point-to-point link; and the first timestamp is sent from the first computer system to the second computer system, and the second and third timestamps are sent from the second computer system to the first computer system over that point-to-point link.
