Provided are a method, system, and program for an adaptor to read and write to system memory. A plurality of blocks of data to write to storage are received at an adaptor. The blocks of data are added to a buffer in the adaptor. A determination is made of pages in a memory device and I/O requests are generated to write the blocks in the buffer to the determined pages, wherein two I/O requests are generated to write to one block split between two pages in the memory device. The adaptor executes the generated I/O requests to write the blocks in the buffer to the determined pages in the memory device.
摘要:
An apparatus, program product and method guarantee a period of time in which a partition's use of a resource will not be preempted by a hypervisor. An inquiry communication from the partition prompts the hypervisor to determine if work is pending for the hypervisor. If not, the hypervisor sends a guarantee response ensuring the period of uninterrupted use of the resource by the partition.
摘要:
Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture, wherein a first application executes at least two threads corresponding to a simultaneous multi-threaded processor whose resources have been acquired by the first application. The at least two threads are synchronized before releasing the simultaneous multi-threaded processor to a second application.
摘要:
A first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster is operated in an active mode and a second logical partition in the processing complex is operated in a standby mode. Upon detection of a failure in a second processing complex of the server cluster. the standby mode logical partition in the first processing complex is activated to an active mode. In one embodiment, partition resources are transferred from an active mode logical partition to the logical partition activated from standby mode. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Provided are a method, system and article of manufacture, wherein a request to access data is received from a requestor. A determination is made as to whether the requestor is authorized to access the data. In response to determining that the requestor is authorized to access the data, a determination is made as to whether the data is encrypted. An encryption key is requested from the requester, in response to determining that the data is not encrypted.
摘要:
A first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster is operated at a first level of a software code. Software code in a second logical partition in the same processing complex is updated to a second level. Processing operations are assumed by the second logical partition operating at the second level of software code. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A first logical partition in a first processing complex of a server cluster is operated at a first level of a software code. Software code in a second logical partition in the same processing complex is changed to a second level. Processing operations are transferred from the first logical partition in the first processing complex to a third logical partition in a second processing complex of the server cluster. In another aspect, the transferring of processing operations includes quiescing the first logical partition to cause a failover of processing operations from the first logical partition in the first processing complex, to the third logical partition in the second processing complex. In yet another aspect, a failback operation is performed and a first portion of the processing operations are transferred from the third logical partition in the second processing complex, to the second logical partition in the first processing complex. In still another aspect, a second portion of the processing operations may be transferred from the third logical partition in the second processing complex, to the second logical partition in the first processing complex of the server cluster. In one example, the transferring of the second portion of processing operations includes quiescing the third logical partition to cause a failover of processing operations from the third logical partition in the second processing complex, to the second logical partition in the first processing complex. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Mechanisms are provided for extending cache for an external storage system into individual servers. Certain servers may have cards with cache in the form of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and non-volatile storage, such as flash memory or solid-state drives (SSDs), which may be viewed as actual extensions of the external storage system. In this way, the storage system is distributed across the storage area network (SAN) into various servers. Several new semantics are used in communication between the cards and the storage system to keep the read caches coherent.
摘要:
A mold assembly for insert-molding a heterogeneous object includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold includes a cavity for accommodating an insert object. The lower mold includes a rigid body and a resilient contact member for resting the insert object. The resilient contact member absorbs dimensional variations of the insert object during the insert molding process.
