    摘要: Systems and methods for throttling a fabric login (FLOGI) in a Fibre Channel (FC) adapter are provided. One system includes a first tracking mechanism, a second tracking mechanism, a switch, and a FC adapter. The FC adapter comprises three or more FLOGIs and a controller configured to perform the below method. One method includes transmitting first and second FLOGI requests to the switch and indicating, via a first tracking mechanism, that a first FLOGI associated with the first FLOGI request and a second FLOGI associated with the second FLOGI request are active. The method further includes queuing a third FLOGI request until the first FLOGI request or the second FLOGI request is processed by the switch and indicating, via a second tracking mechanism, that a third FLOGI associated with the third FLOGI request is queued. Also provided are computer storage mediums including computer code for performing the above method.

    摘要: A method for dynamically enabling and disabling use of XFR_RDY is disclosed herein. In one embodiment of the invention, such a method includes receiving a write command at a target and determining whether XFR_RDY is enabled or disabled for the write command. In the event XFR_RDY is disabled, the method determines whether one or more buffers are available at the target. If at least one buffer is available, the method processes the write command by writing data associated with the write command to the one or more buffers. The method then returns information indicating the number of buffers that are still available at the target after completing the write command. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting supported small form-factor pluggable (SFP) devices in an adapter are provided. One system includes multiple ports, each port configured to be coupled to a SFP device, a tracking device configured to store data representing a list of supported SFP devices for the adapter, and a processor coupled to each of the plurality of ports and the tracking device. The processor is configured to scan each port at start-up, determine if any of the ports is coupled to a non-supported SFP device, and disable any ports that are coupled to a non-supported SFP device. One method includes scanning each port at start-up, determining if any of the ports is coupled to a non-supported SFP device, and disabling any ports that are coupled to a non-supported SFP device. Also provided are computer storage mediums including computer code for performing the above method.

    摘要: A method for logging a repetitive error in a computer system is provided. The repetitive error is logged after each of a series of progressively increasing time periods. The logging commences when the repetitive error is first identified and concludes when the repetitive error is no longer identified.

    摘要: A method for initializing a fiber channel link upon a failure of a standard speed negotiation algorithm is provided. The standard speed negotiation algorithm is disabled. A link speed is set to a highest possible link speed not yet attempted outside the standard speed negotiation algorithm, initializing the fiber channel link if the link speed is negotiated at a maximum link speed. If the link speed is negotiated at a speed less than the maximum link speed, the standard speed negotiation algorithm is reattempted, initializing the fiber channel link according to the standard speed negotiation algorithm if the reattempt is successful.

The processor(s) is/are configured to perform the below method. One method includes scanning the ports, finding high priority work on a port, and accepting or declining the high priority work. The method further includes changing a designation of the processor to TRUE in the first tracking mechanism if the processor accepts the high priority work such that the processor is allowed to perform the high priority work on the port. Also provided are computer storage mediums including computer code for performing the above method.
