    摘要: A computer program product, an apparatus, and a method for processing communications between a target and an initiator an input/output processing system are provided. The computer program product 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: sending a message from the initiator to the target, the message requesting suspension of input/output operations between the initiator and the target for a period of time, the period of time being defined by the message; responsive to the message, suspending input/output operation messages for the period of time; performing a system change comprising at least one of: at least one update, a computer program installation, a recovery, and a change in operating parameters; and initiating new input/output operations after at least one of: expiration of the period of time and initiation of new input/output operations by the initiator.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method and system for estimating the skew and offset between two clocks in a computer system. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a first set of data values representing a forward delay between the first and second clocks, and obtaining a second set of data values representing a negative backward delay between the first and second clocks. The method comprises the further steps of forming a lower convex hull for said first set of data values, and forming an upper convex hull, above the lower convex hull, for said second set of data values. The clock offset and the skew between said first and second clocks are estimated using those convex hulls. In a preferred embodiment, this estimation is made by identifying a best clock line between the first and second convex hulls.
