摘要:
A hypervisor prepares a guest region identifier (RID)-physical region identifier (RID) mapping table for dynamically registering and managing items and performs RID conversion using the guest RID-physical RID mapping table. When the mapping table is used, since it is unnecessary to provide a specific information area representing logical partitions (LPARs) corresponding to respective guests in an RID to be converted, there is no limitation concerning the number of LPARs and a problem in operation can be eliminated.

A computer system of a multi-operation-system (multi-OS) has a main memory having a memory area for a first OS and a memory area for a second OS, both the areas being independent from each other, and a plurality of I/O devices divisionally allocated to the first OS and the second OS. The first OS is loaded in the first OS memory area, and thereafter when the first OS is operated, the second OS is loaded in the second OS memory area and initialized. When the first OS is operated, the first OS hardware resources and the second OS hardware resources are registered by the first OS. Thereafter when the first OS is operated, the first OS inhibits the registration of an interrupt number already allocated to the second OS I/O device. In response to an interrupt request from a second OS I/O device, the second OS starts operating.

摘要:
An inter-OS control software for switching OS's in operation executed on a single CPU is installed, and plural OS's are made alternately executed. A control program is executed exclusively on one OS, which controls the controlled apparatus. A supervisory control program and a development environment program are executed on another OS, and a memory space is divided so as to make no effect for the operation of the control program. A higher real-time performance and reliability can be established with a single CPU architecture.

A file prefetch control method including the steps of dividing a file into a plurality of partial files furnished with a partial file name each, and converting a request to access any one of the partial files using the corresponding partial file name into a request to access the entire file to which the requested partial file belongs, whereby the file as a whole is read out. When multiple files are prefetched in this manner, the throughput of a file system is enhanced, the number of access operations to a secondary memory is reduced, and the wait time for access to partial files is shortened.

A virtualization mechanism in a first computer of the plurality of computers generates at least one virtual computer on the first computer. The virtualization mechanism in the first computer executes at least one of a first judgment and a second judgment when a request for activating a first virtual computer of the at least one virtual computer is received, the first judgment being for judging whether or not the activation of the first virtual computer is prohibited based on first information stored in a memory of the virtualization mechanism, and the second judgment being for judging whether or not an identifier included in a logic I/O adapter device assigned to the first virtual computer is invalid based on second information stored in the memory of the virtualization mechanism. The activation of the first virtual computer is permitted or prohibited based on the executed judgment.
摘要:
As regards a hardware fault which has occurred in a computer, a hypervisor notifies an LPAR which can continue execution, of a fault occurrence as a hardware fault for which execution can be continued. Upon receiving the notice, the LPAR notifies the hypervisor that it has executed processing to cope with a fault. The hypervisor provides an interface for acquiring a situation of a notice situation. It is made possible to register and acquire a situation of coping with a hardware fault allowing continuation of execution through the interface, and it is made possible to make a decision as to the situation of coping with a fault in the computers as a whole.
摘要:
In a system including a plurality of physical machines to execute virtual machines (VM1, VM2), migration virtual machine information and definition information are saved in a physical machine executing a virtual machine (VM1) to be migrated and a storage of a physical machine as a migration destination. During the migration of the virtual machine, machine identification information of a migration partner, unique information assigned to the virtual machine, and information indicating whether the physical machine executing the processing is a migration-source or migration-destination physical machine are saved in a migration information storage area. A migration recovery section examines information stored in a definition information storage area and a migration information storage area to determine a recovery procedure to restore the virtual machine.

摘要:
A hypervisor is operated while an I/O device is not controlled by the hypervisor performs a process operation. A result of the process of the I/O device which is being concurrently operated is recorded to be capable of being reflected to the operation of the hypervisor. Therefore, a hypervisor which assigns a computer including an I/O control device controlling an I/O device, a main storage device, and a CPU as resources to each of one or more logical partitions (LPAR) and performs control, and a logging circuit recording data transmission from the I/O device to the main storage device, which is uncontrolled by the hypervisor, in response to an instruction from the hypervisor, are provided. It is possible to shorten a halt time period of an LPAR.
摘要:
In a cluster that is composed of two computer nodes and has no common storage, mutual aliveness is monitored over networks. However, this is insufficient because a party node may be wrongly determined as inactive. If failover is performed according to wrong determination, the counterpart may be restored to a normal condition after the failover, so that both the two computers may operate as master. The two nodes to constitute the cluster and other computers to communicate with the cluster are connected by switches that can disable ports to which the computers are connected. A network control program that controls the switches changes the legality of use of ports to which the nodes are connected, synchronously with node failover.
