    摘要: A data processing I/O system including a main storage for storing data and data processing instructions arranged in software programs, and a channel subsystem having hardware for reporting conditions in the channel subsystem to the software. A special Channel Subsystem Call (CHSC) instruction is used to store event information from the channel subsystem into the main memory for use by the software such that new or restored resources such as a channel path, a channel path and partial control unit link address, or a channel path and full control unit link address, may be originally made accessible, or may be restored to the I/O system. A mechanism is also provided to inquire of a device how long it expects to not be accessible to give the device sufficient time to reset itself before it is varied offline, thus preventing a device from being isolated or "boxed" prematurely.

    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 method of providing direct data processing access in a network computing system environment. The system environment has a main storage which can be connected to one or more application servers and is in processing communication with an interface element. The interface element has at least one adapter and can be connected to one or more application user(s). One or more queues are established in the main storage that can handle data without causing interrupts in the running programs. Incoming data is received using the adapter and as data is received or modified, the status of the network computing system will be updated to reflect the new data or change. Data is then processed in the main storage after interrogating the multiple existing queues in the main storage and forwarding them in turn to their appropriate destination or application server after a determination has been made by interrogating these queues.
