摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus, and system for sharing an input/output adapter among a plurality of operating system instances on a host server. Virtual memory is allocated and associated with an operating system instance. The virtual memory is translated to one or more real addresses, wherein the one or more real addresses require no further translation. The input/output adapter is exposed to the one or more real addresses. The operating system instance is provided with the one or more real addresses for accessing the virtual memory associated with the operating system instance. Address translation and protection may be performed by the input/output adapter or by the operating system instance.

摘要： A method is provided for configuring a communication port of a communications interface of an information handling system into a plurality of virtual ports. A first command is issued to obtain information indicating a number of images of virtual ports supportable by the communications interface. A second command is then issued requesting the communications interface to virtualize the communication port. In response to the second command, one or more virtual switches are then configured to connect to the communication port, each virtual switch including a plurality of virtual ports, such that the one or more virtual switches are configured in a manner sufficient to support the number of images of virtual ports indicated by the obtained information. Thereafter, upon request via issuance of a third command, a logical link is established between one of the virtual ports of one of the virtual switches and a communicating element of the information handling system.

摘要： A processor node of a network is provided which includes one or more processors and a virtualized channel adapter. The virtualized channel adapter is operable to reference a table to determine whether a destination of the communication is supported by the virtualized channel adapter. When the destination is supported for routing via hardware, the virtualized channel adapter is operable to route the communication via hardware to at least one of a physical port and a logical port of the virtualized channel adapter. Otherwise, when the destination is not supported for routing via hardware, the virtualized channel adapter is operable to route the communication via firmware to a virtual port of the virtualized channel adapter. A corresponding method and a recording medium having information recorded thereon for performing such method are also provided herein.

摘要： In a logical partitioning (LPAR) environment with InfiniBand™ host channel adapters (HCAs), multiple operating systems share the resources of a physical HCA. A mechanism for efficiently allocating memory regions (or memory windows) to different LPARs is provided, while ensuring that a memory region assigned to one LPAR is not accessible from another LPAR.

摘要： A method and apparatus for accessing a memory. Access rights for a memory operation are verified using a first data structure in response to receiving a request to perform the operation, wherein the request includes a virtual address for the operation. Responsive to access rights being verified for the memory operation, the virtual address translated into a real address using a second data structure.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed within a logically partitioned data processing system for providing an aliased queue pair for each logical partition for the single general services management queue pair that exists within a physical host channel adapter. Packets intended for the logical ports are received at the physical port. Multiple partitions exist within the data processing system. When one of these partitions needs to use one of the logical ports, a queue pair is selected. The queue pair is then associated with the logical port. The queue pair is configured as an aliased general services management queue pair and is used by the partition as if the aliased queue pair were the single general services management queue pair provided in the channel adapter.

摘要： An information processing system is provided which includes a plurality of system resources, and an event queue having a predetermined number of entries. An event recording mechanism of the information processing system is operable to make entries regarding events in the event queue, wherein the entries are limited to a predetermined number of active entries in the event queue per each type of event per each of the system resources. In a particular embodiment, the number of entries per each type of event for each of the system resources is limited to one.

摘要： Performance counters are provided for virtualized network interfaces of communications networks, while minimizing the use of hardware resources. A virtualized network interface includes physical resources, as well as logical resources. Dedicated performance counters are provided for the physical resources of the virtualized network interface, as well as for logical partitions coupled to that interface, while non-dedicated performance counters are provided for the logical resources. This enables the provision of performance counters for virtualized network interfaces, while minimizing hardware resources consumed by those interfaces.
