    摘要: Control unit level reset operations in systems having switched point-to-point I/O interface topologies is accomplished by determining and storing channel path identification numbers (CHPID's) and control unit link addresses (CULA's) for each device in the system, scanning this stored data to find devices whose CHPID's and CULA's match the CHPID and CULA for a device or a control unit having a reported error, quiescing devices with such matching CHPID's and CULA's, issuing a control unit level reset command and reactivating the quiesced devices. For systems having both multidropped and switched point-to-point topologies, provision is made for preliminarily determining whether a given control unit reset can be performed on the control unit level.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a host processor and host memory means. The processor interacts with a plurality of peripheral units through an I/O system that includes a plurality of channels, one or more I/O processors (IOP's), and control data in a system area of the host memory means. Each channel has an associated busy bit in a vector, and is provided with a one position queue for dispatching work to the channel. Each queue has a bit in a vector indicating its full or empty status. A very efficient algorithm for the assignment of work for peripherals by the IOP's is provided in a system that provides for multiple paths through multiple channels between the host and a particular peripheral using the busy vector and queue vector.
