摘要:
A computer program product, apparatus and method for managing recovery of a link in a multi-tasking multi-processor environment. An exemplary embodiment includes shutting off timers for a failed channel associated with the communications link, storing a loss of link condition in a data structure, disabling communications on the failed channel and sending an external notification of the loss of link condition.

A computer program product for incorporating state machine controls into existing non-state machine environments includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes determining a state machine representation for an existing environment, assigning state indicators to each state of the state machine, transcoding existing software flags of the environment into modifier values associated with the state indicators, assigning state values based on the modifier values and the state indicators, assigning event identifiers for transitions from the state values, and creating a tabular representation of the determined state machine, the tabular representation providing next state information based on the event identifiers and the state values.

A computer program product for subnet management in virtual host channel adapter topologies includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method. The method includes receiving a request to add a new logical host channel adapter (HCA) to the subnet, updating a logical switch port topology control block to reflect a pointer to the new logical HCA, and updating a port topology control block of the logical HCA to reflect a pointer to the logical switch port.
摘要:
A technique for establishing a logical path between two servers in a coordinated timing network of a processing environment is provided. The technique includes the exchange of command and response message pairs by a server and an attached server, via a physical link. The server transmits a command message to an attached server to establish a server-time-protocol (STP) logical path and receives a response from the attached server. The technique also includes the server receiving a request transmitted by the attached server to establish an STP logical path to the server and transmitting a response to the attached server's request. A logical path between the server and the attached server is established if the attached server's response indicates that the server's request was accepted by the attached server and if the server's response indicates that the attached server's request was accepted by the server.
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.

摘要:
A computer program product, apparatus and method for identifying processors in a multi-tasking multiprocessor network, the computer program product including a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method including storing a service record for a port to which an LID has been assigned, retrieving service records for nodes to which channel paths may connect, retrieving path records that provide address destinations for the nodes identified in the service records, initiating channel initialization for the channel paths defined for the port and removing the service record for the port.
摘要:
A computer program product, apparatus and method for managing recovery and control of a communications link via out-of-band signaling. An exemplary embodiment includes sending a command, sending an invalidate request to a buffer associated with the command and receiving a response to the invalidate request at least one of prior to the command reaching the recipient and after the command reaching the recipient.
摘要:
A computer program product, apparatus and method for buffer discovery in a multi-tasking multi-processor environment. An exemplary embodiment includes establishing a management connection, confirming that end points of the management connection are connected to respective targets, sending a negotiate counts message, including a number and size of buffers associated with parameters of the management connection and receiving a response to the negotiate counts message, the response including at least one of rejection of the management connection and an acceptance of the management connection, including an agreed number and size of the buffers.
