A trouble analysis apparatus is provided which includes: a system topology storing portion; an error detection information receiving portion which collects error detection information; and a trouble source determination portion which, based on both the error detection information collected by the error detection information receiving portion and system topology information stored in the system topology information storing portion, determines a trouble source functional element that is presumed as a functional element which is a source of a system trouble. Links included in the system topology information have information indicating spreading directions of error operations between the functional elements when trouble occurs. When the trouble source detection portion receives the error detection information with regard to multiple error functional elements, the trouble source determination portion sequentially selects one of the multiple error functional elements. The trouble source detection portion determines whether or not directions from the selected error functional element to other error functional elements conform to the spreading directions included in the system topology information. The trouble source determination portion determines the selected error functional element as the trouble source functional element when the spreading directions are conformable.

An information processing system includes a plurality of processors for executing processing according to a predetermined processing request sent from a different device; a switching device for performing data transfer between the individual processors and the different device; and a storage device which is connected to the switching device and enables data transfer to and from the individual processors. At least one of the processors includes a processing request storing unit for storing processing request data sent from the different device to the processor, into the storage device by data transfer. At least another one of the processors includes a processing request reading unit for reading the processing request data stored in the storage device from the storage device by data transfer.

An I/O equipment sharing system includes CPUs, a plurality of route complexes coupled to the CPUs, upstream PCI Express-bridges coupled to the route complexes, downstream PCI Express-bridges coupled to the upstream PCI Express-bridges through a network, and I/O equipment coupled to the downstream PCI Express-bridges. In the above configuration, the I/O equipment are shared between the CPUs using the identifiers of the network (for example, Ethernet VLAN IDs), the identifiers are set so that they do not overlap between the respective CPUs and necessary I/O equipment is set to a set identifier. Further, an identifier is set to a plurality of the same I/O equipment required by the respective CPUs.

A network system that is part of a main system includes: a first PCI express-network bridge with a first control unit and a first PCI express adapter terminating a first PCI express bus; and a second PCI express-network bridge connected to the first PCI express-network bridge through a network. The second PCI express-network bridge includes a second control unit and a second PCI express adapter terminating a second PCI express bus, wherein the first control unit detects a destination of a packet sent from the first PCI express adapter, searches a physical address of the destination from a packet encapsulating table, and encapsulates the packet in a frame so that the frame includes the physical address, and wherein the second control unit removes the encapsulation tagged to the packet, and transfers the packet to the destination through the second PCI express bus by referring to a PCI express configuration register.

A virtual PCI Express device 1600 indicates the presence of a pseudo I/O device in a PCI Express initial configuration cycle to reserve a resource space for a device anticipated to be installed in the future, and when an I/O device 1400 is inserted into an unoccupied slot 1605, a virtual PCI Express device control logic 1602 notifies a downstream PCI-PCI bridge 1504 via a hot-plugging control line 1601, and the downstream PCI-PCI bridge 1504 generates an interrupt to a CPU 1100 to notify it of insertion of the I/O device 1400 in conformance with the procedure for hot plugging defined by the PCI-SIG Standards, and configuration software 1000 invoked configures the inserted I/O device 1400.
摘要:
A PCI Express switch which connects a plurality of peripheral devices to an arbitrary one of a plurality of CPUs through an Ethernet is constituted by a plurality of upstream and downstream PCI Express-network bridges, an Ethernet switch, and a system manager. Each of the upstream and downstream PCI Express-network bridges includes a PCI Express adapter which terminates a link of a PCI Express bus, a network adapter which terminates a link to the Ethernet switch, and a control unit which encapsulates a TLP in a frame, the destination of which is a MAC address of a bridge to which the destination is connected to transmit and receive the frame. Because the switch according to the present invention comprising a plurality of upstream PCI Express-network bridges and a plurality of downstream PCI Express-network bridges connected to the plurality of upstream PCI Express network bridges through a network is equivalent to a conventional PCI Express switch, it is needless to change a conventional PCI software.
