摘要： Input/output (I/O) communications subadapters, such as subchannels, of an I/O subsystem are dedicated to components, such as I/O devices, of the I/O subsystem. The subadapters provide information about the associated components, in response to the execution of I/O instructions. To enhance I/O connectivity, a plurality of sets of I/O subadapters is provided to an operating system image. This allows programs of the operating system image to access a same component via different sets of I/O communications subadapters. Further, it enables an operating system image to use more than 64 k subchannels.

摘要： An input/output subsystem is configured as a plurality of input/output subsystem images, each of which appears to a program as an independent input/output subsystem. One or more input/output subsystem images of the plurality of input/output subsystem images are managed. An aspect of this management includes managing an input/output (I/O) configuration of an input/output subsystem image. This management may be performed dynamically.

摘要： Enables any OS of plural OSs within any of plural logical-resource partitions (LPARs) of a CEC to use interpretive execution for synchronously-executable CHSC (channel subsystem call) commands. A CHSC command authorization mask (CCAM) is provided to control which CHSC commands are allowed to execute interpretively (with pass-through), and which commands are executed with hypervisor intervention (as all prior CHSC commands did). By enabling interpretive execution of those commands which can successfully operate with pass-through, significant system efficiency is obtained. And by disabling interpretive execution for a subset of CHSC commands (which are not allowed to execute with pass-through) potential system failures may be prevented. Thus, interpretive execution may be restricted differently among the OSs in a CEC. Novel CHSC command execution now handles multiple images of shared I/O resources by use of image identifiers, which could not be done before. The information requested by any OS issuing a CHSC command is filtered and optionally compacted by the I/O subsystem responding to the command by only providing information obtained from control blocks associated with the OS which issued the command. This is done by having a set of control blocks for each I/O resource, each control block in the set being associated with a particular OS.

摘要： A data processing I/O system including a main storage for storing data and data processing instructions arranged in software programs, and a channel subsystem having hardware for reporting conditions in the channel subsystem to the software. A special Channel Subsystem Call (CHSC) instruction is used to store event information from the channel subsystem into the main memory for use by the software such that new or restored resources such as a channel path, a channel path and partial control unit link address, or a channel path and full control unit link address, may be originally made accessible, or may be restored to the I/O system. A mechanism is also provided to inquire of a device how long it expects to not be accessible to give the device sufficient time to reset itself before it is varied offline, thus preventing a device from being isolated or "boxed" prematurely.

摘要： Provides a method for increasing the connectivity of I/O resources to a multiplicity of operating systems (OSs) running in different resource partitions of a computer electronic complex (CEC) to obtain sharing of the I/O resources among the OSs of the CEC, including channels, subchannels (devices), and control units (CUs). The invention provides image identifiers (IIDs) for assigning resources to the different OSs. Each shared I/O resource has a sharing set of control blocks (CBs) in which a respective CB is assigned to (and located by) a respective IID of one of the OSs. Each of the CBs in a sharing set provides a different image of the same I/O resource. The different CB images are independently set to different states by I/O operations for the different OSs, so that the OSs can independently share the same I/O resource.

摘要： A mechanism for changing the system I/O configuration definition in the channel subsystem of a data processing system without having to do a power on reset operation. The data processing system includes one or more central processing units, an I/O processor, a storage addressable by the central processors and the I/O processor, and a command mechanism for creating command-request blocks in the storage, each of which contains a requested command and data for the I/O Processor to add, delete or change elements of the I/O configuration definitions of the channel subsystem. Response-blocks are created in the storage for passing status information from the I/O processor to the central processing unit(s) indicating either successful execution of the requested command or that the I/O configuration definitions were unchanged by the command of the request-block, or when associated functions may have been performed in the execution of the command of the request-block by the I/O processor.
