摘要： In order to provide an inexpensive way to share an I/O device loaded in an I/O drawer among a plurality of blades, in a server system including a plurality of servers, a PCI device, and a manager for initializing a PCI switch, the PCI device has a plurality of virtual functions (VFs). The PCI switch, which has VF allocation information which indicates association between the servers and the VFs, is configured to: receive a transaction from one of the servers or from the PCI device; when the received transaction is a transaction sent from the one of the servers, remove a server identifier with which a sender server is identified and transfer the received transaction to the PCI device; and when the received transaction is a transaction sent from the PCI device, attach a server identifier that is determined based on the VF allocation information.

摘要： A VMM disables an interrupt interception flag on at least one CPU to execute, upon reception of an interrupt, an interrupt handler code of an OS, and enables the interrupt interception flag on the at least one CPU to execute, upon the reception of the interrupt, an emulator in the VMM. When, to a virtual machine, an I/O device is assigned in a dedicated form, and when the CPU is assigned while the interrupt interception is disabled, a destination of the interrupt from the physical I/O device is set to the corresponding CPU on which the interrupt interception is disabled. When, to the virtual machine, the I/O device is assigned in a shared form, or when the CPU is assigned while the interrupt interception is disabled, the destination of the interrupt from the physical I/O device is set to the corresponding CPU on which the interrupt interception is enabled.

摘要： Disclosed herewith is a composite type computer system that can assure that a PCI tree to be allocated to a computer is configured completely before the computer is powered. The composite type computer system includes a PCI switch that connects plural computers through PCI interfaces; plural PCI devices connected to the PCI switch; a system controller that controls the computers; and a PCI manager that controls allocation of the PCI devices to the computers. The system controller carries out processings in the steps of (a) powering an object computer to start up its OS; (b) acquiring the identifier of a PCI tree allocated by the system controller to the computer and PCI tree management information denoting the status of the PCI tree; (c) retrying the powering or canceling the powering of the computer if the acquired PCI tree management information denotes the status “not initialized”; and (d) carrying out the powering for the computer if the acquired PCI management information denotes the status “initialized”.
