摘要： Provided is a fibre channel switch system to which a server and a storage system are connected. The fibre channel switch system includes: a host controller for controlling a fibre channel protocol, to which the server is connected; a management table for indicating a hardware address of the host controller; a switching unit for routing information of the fibre channel protocol; and a control unit for controlling the host controller and the switching unit. Accordingly, the server connected to fibre channel switch system can be downsized.

摘要： A channel adaptor is provided which can be shared by a plurality of operating systems (OS's) running in a data processing system, by generating an address translation table without changing input/output process control data. A plurality of OS's execute an input/output process for the channel adaptor by using input/output process control data having different identifiers, without sharing the input/output process control data for the channel adaptor by different OS's. The data processing system generates one virtual address translation table from a plurality of address translation tables generated by OS's, and the channel adaptor processes the input/output control data of OS's by using the virtual address translation table.

摘要： Read buffers (RB0-RB3) are capable of holding data read out from a plurality of memory blocks (BNK0-BNK7) that are capable of parallel operation in response to a state in which the read data cannot be externally outputted from an external interface means; and, selection means (40, 41, 42) are provided for selecting data read out from one of the memory blocks, or data read out from one of the read buffers, and for feeding it to the external interface means, while the external-output-incapable state is not present. In this way, when there is a possibility that an output of read data will cause a resource competition, this read data is stored in a read buffer, and when there is no such possibility, then the read data can be externally outputted directly, thereby improving the throughput of read data output operations.
