    摘要： An apparatus, method and program product for controlling the transfer of data in a data processing system having a processor handling an I/O request in an I/O operation, main storage controlled by the processor for storing data, and one or more I/O devices for sending data to or receiving data from said main storage. The apparatus includes a vector mechanism operable to register I/O requests by the devices to send or receive data from said main storage. A dispatcher is included which is operable to poll the vector mechanism to determine if there is an outstanding I/O request. An override bit has a first condition when an immediate interrupt is to be sent to the processor for handling an I/O request from the I/O device(s), and a second condition when the dispatcher is to poll the vector mechanism to determine if there is an outstanding I/O request. The override bit is set to its first condition or reset to its second condition by the processor.

    摘要： A method and apparatus for optimizing the handling of a synchronous request issued from a system partition of a logically partitioned machine to a selected coupling facility. The coupling facility may be either an internal coupling facility residing in a separate logical partition or an external coupling facility residing on a separate physical machine; an internal coupling facility in turn runs on processors that are either dedicated to the coupling facility or shared with another logical partition. A logical partition manager maintains state information for each system partition indicating whether the partition is connected to an internal coupling facility. To ascertain the shared or non-shared status of a particular coupling facility to which it is connected, a system partition issues a Read Facility Parameters (RFP) command to the target facility, which responds with a message response block (MRB) containing a bit that is 1 if it uses dedicated processors and 0 if it uses shared processors. The system partition stores this information in an entry for the coupling facility kept in a shared/dedicated attribute table maintained by the partition. Each time the system partition issues a subsequent request to a coupling facility, it sets a bit in a message operation block (MOB) of the request to indicate the shared status of the facility, as indicated by the corresponding entry in its shared/dedicated attribute table. The processor executing the request examines the MOB bit as well as the state information maintained by the logical partition manager for the partition. A synchronous request to a coupling facility is converted to an asynchronous request if (1) the state information maintained by the logical partition manager indicates that the originating system partition is connected to an internal coupling facility and (2) the MOB bit indicates that the target coupling facility uses shared processors. Otherwise, a synchronous request is issued to the target facility without being converted to an asynchronous request.

    摘要： A method and apparatus for dynamically controlling the dispatching of a coupling facility operating in a logical partition sharing a processor resource with one or more other logical partitions issuing requests to the coupling facility. A plurality of coupling facility dispatching modes differing in their relative dispatch duration are defined. One dispatching mode is initially selected, and the number of requests received from the other logical partitions within a predetermined interval while in a selected dispatching mode is determined. Transitions between the defined dispatching modes are made in accordance with the number of requests received within the sampling interval in the selected dispatching mode. The method and apparatus are especially suitable for controlling the dispatching of a backup coupling facility, whose polling loop would otherwise consume processor resources usable by other logical

    摘要： An exemplary embodiment is a method for creating and identifying different kinds of groups of cooperating system images within a single machine, a single central processor complex (CPC) where each kind of group has a different functional purpose. Such a collection of cooperating system images is referred to as a logical partition cluster (LPC). An LPC is created or identified using a diagnose instruction. The diagnose instruction includes a subcode field designating a function to be performed and a logical partition cluster type field indicating the type of logical partition cluster said function is to be performed on.

    摘要： A method and apparatus for specifying offsets from an external time reference (ETR) for selected logical partitions of a partitioned information handling system. Each logical partition has a logical time-of-day (TOD) clock which may be set independently of the host system clock by specifying an epoch offset from the host clock. A system operator is presented with a display panel in which the operator may specify the magnitude and sign of an ETR offset for each logical partition selected to have an ETR offset. Each logical partition, upon being activated, issues a Store Clock (STCK) instruction to read its own logical TOD clock as well as a Store ETR (STETR) instruction to read the ETR. If the logical partition has a specified ETR offset, the logical partition manager simulates the STETR instruction by adding or subtracting the ETR offset to the real ETR time and returning the modified value to the partition; otherwise, the logical partition manager returns the real ETR time to the partition. If the read ETR time (as returned by the STETR instruction) differs from the read logical clock time, the logical partition issues a Set Clock (SCK) instruction to reset the logical partition clock to the ETR time. The logical partition manager simulates this latter instruction by computing the difference between the two times and storing the difference in an epoch offset field for the partition. The invention permits sets of logical partitions to be synchronized to different clock values, either for test purposes or operation in different time zones.

    摘要翻译： 一种用于指定对于分区信息处理系统的选定逻辑分区的来自外部时间基准（ETR）的偏移的方法和装置。 每个逻辑分区具有逻辑时钟（TOD）时钟，其可以通过从主机时钟指定历元偏移来独立于主机系统时钟设置。 系统操作员被呈现有显示面板，其中操作者可以为选择为具有ETR偏移量的每个逻辑分区指定ETR偏移量的大小和符号。 每个逻辑分区在被激活时发出存储时钟（STCK）指令，以读取其自己的逻辑TOD时钟以及存储ETR（STETR）指令来读取ETR。 如果逻辑分区具有指定的ETR偏移量，则逻辑分区管理器通过将ETR偏移量相加或减去实际ETR时间来模拟STETR指令，并将修改的值返回到分区; 否则，逻辑分区管理器将真正的ETR时间返回到分区。 如果读取的ETR时间（由STETR指令返回）与读取的逻辑时钟时间不同，则逻辑分区发出设置时钟（SCK）指令，将逻辑分区时钟重置为ETR时间。 逻辑分区管理器通过计算两次之间的差异并将该差异存储在分区的时期偏移字段中来模拟后一指令。 本发明允许将逻辑分区集合同步到不同的时钟值，用于测试目的或在不同时区中的操作。

    摘要： According to the present invention a method and a device is provided for concurrent removal of processor capacity from a running computer. The method and device may, e.g., be used for non-disruptive removal of processors from the enabled physical configuration without any involvement of the operating system. The computer comprises a resource controller configured to control a physical resource pool including the actual physical resources and a capacity virtualizer configured to provide multiple sets of virtual resources from a capacity virtualizer resource pool, whereby the provided sets of virtual resources allow to host independent operating systems concurrently. The method comprises the steps of the resource controller requesting the capacity virtualizer to reduce the capacity virtualizer resource pool, the capacity virtualizer removing resources from the capacity virtualizer resource pool, and the resource controller disabling physical resources corresponding to the resources removed from the capacity virtualizer resource pool.
