摘要:
Error handling is simplified for a self-virtualizing IO resource that utilizes a physical function adjunct partition for a physical function in the self-virtualizing IO resource to coordinate error recovery for the self-virtualizing IO resource, by restarting each virtual function adjunct partition associated with that physical function to avoid the need to coordinate error recovery within the logical partitions to which such virtual function adjunct partitions are assigned.

摘要:
A computer-implemented method may include determining a number of virtual functions that each port of a hardware input/output adapter is capable of supporting. The computer-implemented method may include assigning a first portion of internal resources of the hardware input/output adapter to each port of the hardware input/output adapter. The computer-implemented method may also include, for a particular port of the hardware input/output adapter, assigning a second portion of the internal resources to each virtual function that the particular port is capable of supporting. The second portion of the internal resources may be a subset of the first portion of the internal resources. The computer-implemented method may further include configuring a virtual function prior to a runtime to use the assigned second portion of the internal resources.

A computer implemented method includes identifying a hardware input/output adapter in a first physical slot location. The computer implemented method includes determining that the hardware input/output adapter is capable of hosting a plurality of virtual functions in the first physical slot location. The computer implemented method also includes selecting a group identifier that is unassociated with another physical slot location. The computer implemented method includes associating the group identifier with the first physical slot location of the hardware input/output adapter.

A method of managing an adapter includes identifying a firmware image configured to enable configuration firmware of a logical partition, where the firmware image is associated an expansion read-only memory (ROM). Access to the firmware image may be enabled by the logical partition, and the firmware image may be used to control of an operation of the adapter.
摘要:
A computer implemented method of managing an adapter includes determining that an adapter is assigned to an operating system and generating a single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) function associated with the adapter. The SR-IOV function may be correlated to a non-SR-IOV function, and the non-SR-IOV function may be used to modify an operational status of the adapter.
摘要:
A computer implemented method of managing an adapter includes enabling an adapter to be shared by operating systems and logical partitions. The adapter includes a plurality of multiple virtual functions. A virtualization intermediary may assign a virtual function of the plurality of virtual functions to at least one of an operating system and a logical partition. The virtual function may be used to modify an operational status of the adapter.
