摘要： A resource and partition manager of the preferred embodiments includes a lock mechanism that operates on a plurality of locks that control access to individual I/O slots. The resource and partition manager uses the lock mechanism to obtain a lock on an I/O slot when transferring control of the I/O slot to a logical partition that is powering on and when removing the I/O slot from a logical partition that is powering off. The resource and partition manager uses the lock mechanism to remove control of an I/O slot from, or return control to, an operating logical partition in order to facilitate hardware service operations on that I/O slot or on the physical enclosure in which it is contained.

摘要： A resource and partition manager includes a power on/power off mechanism that is used to assure a hardware resource is powered down when control of the resource is removed from a logical partition, and to assure the hardware resource is powered up when control of the hardware resource is transferred to a logical partition. In the alternative, the resource and partition manager may simply place the hardware resource in a power on reset state when the hardware resource is transferred to a logical partition. In this manner, when made available to a partition, the hardware resource is in a power-on reset state, which is the state typically expected by the logical partition.

摘要： A resource and partition manager of the preferred embodiments includes a lock mechanism that operates on a plurality of locks that control access to individual PCI adaptor slots. The resource and partition manager uses the lock mechanism to obtain a lock on an PCI adaptor slot when transferring control of the PCI adaptor slot to a logical partition that is powering on and when removing the PCI adaptor from a logical partition that is powering off. The resource and partition manager uses the lock mechanism to remove control of an PCI adaptor slot from, or return control to, an operating logical partition in order to facilitate hardware service operations on that PCI adaptor slot or on the physical enclosure in which it is contained.

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method to dynamically control the bindings between Input/Output Adaptors (IOA's) and Input/Output Processors (IOP's) in a hierarchical I/O interface of a computer, such that an IOA can be dynamically reassigned from one IOP to another IOP such that the latter IOP takes over management of data transfer between the processing complex of the computer and the IOA from the former IOP. At least partial system availability is maintained in the computer during dynamic reassignment to minimize system downtime and simplify maintenance operations on the computer.

摘要： A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for detecting and powering off unused I/O slots in a computer system. For each of the I/O slots, the current slot is checked to determine if the slot is powered on and unlocked. When the current slot is powered on and unlocked, the current slot is checked to determine if the current slot is a candidate for being powered off. When the current slot is determined to be a candidate for being powered off, then the current slot is powered off and the checking continues with a next one of the I/O slots. Recording the slot as a candidate for being powered off before the slot is actually powered off ensures a proper delay to avoid powering off a slot that is about to be locked, which could cause slot power cycles in quick succession.
