Patent number: 8468008Abstract: The emulation of a data processing I/O protocol employs a process which obviates the need to consider hardware specific functionality for which emulation is not an optimal solution. The particular protocol described in exemplary fashion herein is the OSA protocol as defined by Open System Adapter standards. The use of this emulation is also seen to leave in place all of the software tools otherwise employed.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2012Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ping T. Chan, Paul M. Gioquindo, Ying-Yeung Li, Bruce H. Ratcliff, Stephen R. Valley, Mooheng Zee

Patent number: 8099274Abstract: An article of manufacture, method and system are provided for facilitating input/output (I/O) processing of at least one guest processing system. The article of manufacture includes at least one computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code logic to facilitate the I/O processing of the at least one guest processing system. The computer-readable program code logic when executing performing the following: emulating on a native system an I/O architecture for the at least one guest processing system, the emulating including: providing multiple device managers for a plurality of I/O devices of the I/O architecture; providing at least one communications adapter process interfacing the multiple device managers to the at least one network driver process; and wherein the multiple device managers translate I/O messages in at least one guest processing system format to messages in native system format for processing by the at least one communications adapter process, thereby facilitating I/O processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Theodore J. Bohizic, Richard T. Brandle, Ping T. Chan, Michael S. Cirulli, Paul M. Gioquindo, Ying-Yeung Li, Stephen R. Valley

Patent number: 6654812Abstract: In a mainframe class data processing system having multiple logical partitions and a port to a network, a host-network interface is established for reducing network overhead at the multiple partitions. The host-network interface includes, for example, a host channel connection coupling the multiple partitions of the host system to a communications adapter having a network device driver for each network coupled to the adapter. The adapter also includes an address resolution protocol (ARP) cache designed to hold predetermined media headers for the clients coupled to the network(s) for use in forwarding an internet protocol (IP) datagram across the network to one of the clients from a partition of the host system. Provision is also made for partition-to-partition communication of IP datagrams by storing IP addresses of the logical partitions as HOME addresses in the ARP cache of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2001Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul M. Gioquindo, Chin Lee, Bruce H. Ratcliff, Stephen R. Valley
