    摘要： A method and system for communication in a system area network (SAN) data processing system are described. The SAN includes a plurality of interconnected nodes that each have at least one port for communication. To avoid communication-induced errors that may arise, for example, if multiple nodes share the same node ID, the port of a node in the SAN is marked as “fenced” to prevent transmission of packets of a first traffic type while permitting transmission of packets of a second traffic type. The marking of the port may be recorded, for example, in a configuration register of the port. While the port is fenced, only packets of other than the first traffic type are routed via the port. In one preferred embodiment, the second traffic type represents SAN configuration traffic, and the first traffic type represents non-configuration traffic. In this preferred embodiment, the marking of the port may be removed following communication of configuration traffic utilized to negotiate unique node ID throughout the SAN.

    摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for implementing system to system communication in a switchless non-InfiniBand (IB) compliant environment. IB architected multicast facilities are used to communicate between HCAs in a loop or string topology. Multiple HCAs in the network subscribe to a predetermined multicast address. Multicast messages sent by one HCA destined to the pre-determined multicast address are received by other HCAs in the network. Intermediate TCA hardware, per IB architected multicast support, forward the multicast messages on via hardware facilities, which do not require invocation of software facilities thereby providing performance efficiencies. The messages flow until picked up by an HCA on the network. Architected higher level IB connections, such as IB supported Reliable Connections (RCs) are established using the multicast message flow, eliminating the need for an IB Subnet Manager (SM).

    摘要： According to the present invention, a cluster communications system is provided that supports reliable and efficient cluster communications. The preferred embodiment cluster communication systems can be used to provide this reliable and efficient cluster communication for cluster configurations extending beyond a single local area network (LAN). The cluster communications system provides reliable and efficient cluster communication by facilitating multicast messaging between systems in the cluster. In particular, the preferred embodiment provides for the establishment of multicast groups in between which multicast messaging is provided. The preferred embodiment provides this multicasting while providing the needed mechanisms to assure ordered message delivery between systems. The preferred embodiment extends this efficient and reliable cluster communication by providing for additional point-to-point communication between systems not on the same LAN. Thus, the preferred embodiment provides a cluster communication system that uses reliable multicasting for efficient cluster communication in a way that can be used for clusters that extend beyond a single local area network.

    摘要： An apparatus, program product and method support the dynamic modification of cluster communication parameters such as a fragmentation size parameter through controllably deferring the processing of a requested fragmentation size change in a source node until after receipt an acknowledgment message for at least one unacknowledged message sent by the source node to a plurality of target nodes. By controllably deferring such processing until it is confirmed that any such previously-unacknowledged messages sent by a source node have been received by any target nodes, synchronization between the source node and the target nodes may be obtained, and a fragmentation size change may occur in a coordinated fashion such that future messages from the source node to the target node will be processed by both the source and the target nodes using the modified fragmentation size parameter.

    摘要： An apparatus and method allows processing sequenced records across multiple network connections. A “logical connection” is defined to include one or more network connections. Each message is assigned a sequence number that allows the messages to be ordered on the other end according to sequence number, regardless of which network connection in the logical connection is used to transfer the message. By defining messages, sequencing those messages, and transferring the messages over multiple network connections, the throughput and performance of networked computer systems are substantially increased.
