    摘要: An article of manufacture, an apparatus, and a method for determining an extended measurement word at a channel subsystem of an I/O processing system using data from a control unit are provided. The article of manufacture includes at least one computer usable medium having computer readable program code logic. The computer readable program code logic performs a method including sending a command message to the control unit, and receiving a transport response information unit message at the channel subsystem in response to sending the command message to the control unit. The computer readable program code logic additionally extracts a plurality of time values from the transport response information unit message as calculated by the control unit, calculates an extended measurement word as a function of the time values, and writes the extended measurement word to computer readable memory in the I/O processing system.

    摘要: Provided are techniques for determining a link speed. When a link between two computing devices is operational, a link speed for use in communicating across the link is stored and a remembered indicator is set to TRUE. After any event occurs that causes the link to become inoperational, in response to determining that the remembered indicator is TRUE, the stored link speed is used when attempting to make the link become operational.
