  • Patent number: 11481296
    Abstract: A computing system detects an input/output (I/O) device configuration error. The computing system includes at least one I/O device installed with firmware configured to control an I/O function, and a plurality of I/O ports installed on the at least one I/O device. At least one I/O port outputs a request to perform a current I/O configuration initialization and generates current I/O configuration data corresponding to the current I/O configuration initialization. A memory unit is configured to store the current I/O configuration data and previously generated I/O configuration data. The I/O device compares the current I/O configuration data to the previously generated I/O configuration data, and detects the I/O device configuration error in response to determining a mismatch between the current I/O configuration data and the previously generated I/O configuration data.

  • Patent number: 10901654
    Abstract: In one aspect of buffer credit management in accordance with the present description, buffer over-commit logic determines a buffer over-commit value as, in one embodiment, proportional to a determined difference value between the average duration of an I/O operation over data transmission channels connected to a target control unit, and an average of cumulative lifespans that a set of buffers of the target control unit is committed to an I/O operation. In another aspect, buffer over-commit logic determines a buffer over-commit value as, in one embodiment, inversely proportional to buffer lifespan. In another aspect, buffer over-commit logic determines a buffer over-commit value as, in one embodiment, proportional to the determined difference value and inversely proportional to buffer lifespan. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.
