    摘要: Systems, methods and media for providing to a plurality of WPARs private access to physical storage connected to a server through a VIOS are disclosed. In one embodiment, a server is logically partitioned to form a working partition comprising a WPAR manager and individual WPARs. Each WPAR is assigned to a different virtual port. The virtual ports are created by using NPIV protocol between the WPAR and VIOS. Thereby, each WPAR has private access to the physical storage connected to the VIOS.

    摘要: Mechanisms are provided for detecting changes in virtual storage device configurations. The mechanisms detect an event corresponding to a change in configuration of a virtual storage device. The virtual storage device is comprised of a plurality of portions of a plurality of physical storage devices. The mechanisms further, in response to detecting the event, determine if the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device. Moreover, the mechanisms further transmit a notification, in response to a determination that the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device, of the results of the change in configuration of the virtual storage device to one or more registered recipients registered to receive such notifications.

    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product utilizes cluster-awareness to effectively maintain and update Persistent Reserve (PR) state data and provide nodes with notification of changes to PR state data within a Virtual Input/Output (I/O) Server (VIOS) cluster. A Persistent Reserve (PR) utility identifies a database that is accessible to other VIOSes in the cluster, in which database information about the current state of the Persistent Reservation is maintained. The PR utility checks the current Persistent Reserve state in the database to verify whether an initiator of a PR command is allowed to perform the command. If the initiator is allowed to perform the command, the PR utility modifies/updates the Persistent Reserve state in the database to reflect the received Persistent Reserve command. The PR utility updates the initiator's local copy of the modified PR state data and sends a corresponding notification message to other VIOSes in the cluster.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for sharing an application among multiple server systems. In one embodiment, the application is stored on a fast disk paging device. The paging device is in communication with each of a plurality of servers so that each server may be given access to the application. Virtual real memory (VRM) is allocated to a first virtual client of the first server. A portion of this VRM is allocated to the application. The application is executed by a virtual client of a first server. During execution a condition may occur that requires taking the first server off line. In that event, VRM is allocated to a second virtual client of a second server. A portion of this VRM is allocated to the application. The application is then executed by the second virtual client of the second server.

    摘要: Mechanisms for dynamic reallocation of memory to an application, the memory being from a pool of virtual real memory allocated to a virtual client that executes the application, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a virtual client is allocated a pool of virtual real memory. A subset of this pool of virtual real memory is a block of memory allocated for use by an application. The allocation may be stated as a range of allocated memory with an upper and lower limit. The application calls a kernel service when it thinks it needs a new allocation of memory. The new allocation is established by a power hypervisor connected to the virtual client. Memory is exported by way of a Paging Space Partition.

    摘要: An alternative migration of an LPAR from one server system to another when either or both of the server systems cannot access a Storage Area Network (SAN) or like external storage network. If said source and destination server system do not have access to the same SAN, then a mirror image of said all data storage supporting the transferred LPAR is created and transmitted to local storage supporting the destination server system and then the logical partition (LPAR) is transmitted over the connecting network from the source server system to the destination server system.

    摘要: A method for distributed computing utilizing virtual memory is disclosed. The method can include identifying a first node to process an application, identifying paging space accessible to the first node, identifying a second node to share paged data with the first node, and transacting the paged data between the first node and the identified paging space. Thus, application processing results from the first node can be stored in paging space and a second node can retrieve the first result from the paging space such that the paging space can be shared between nodes. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method for storing and retrieving blocks of data having different dimensions is disclosed. The method can include receiving a first data segment to be stored in a block storage device where the first data segment has an address. The method can also include determining if the first data segment conforms to a standard dimension and sorting the first data segment according to the destination address if it does not have a standard dimension. The method can further include placing a non-standard data segment into a unfilled block allocation and placing a second non-standard data segment into the unfilled block allocation when the second data segment has the destination identifier. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
