Patent number: 7657715Abstract: A host implement a method for controlling a dynamic transition of the host from a current operation mode to a target operation mode. The method involves the host receiving an operation mode transition request to transition a logical representation of a storage subsystem as maintained by the host from the current operation mode to the target operation mode, and the host reconfiguring the logical representation of the storage subsystem to the target operation mode based on the operation mode transition request exclusive of a re-IPLing of an operating system of the host.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James B.

Patent number: 7277968Abstract: Input/output (I/O) communications subadapters, such as subchannels, of an I/O subsystem are dedicated to components, such as I/O devices, of the I/O subsystem. The subadapters provide information about the associated components, in response to the execution of I/O instructions. To enhance I/O connectivity, a plurality of sets of I/O subadapters is provided to an operating system image. This allows programs of the operating system image to access a same component via different sets of I/O communications subadapters. Further, it enables an operating system image to use more than 64 k subchannels.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frank W.

Patent number: 7127599Abstract: An input/output subsystem is configured as a plurality of input/output subsystem images, each of which appears to a program as an independent input/output subsystem. One or more input/output subsystem images of the plurality of input/output subsystem images are managed. An aspect of this management includes managing an input/output (I/O) configuration of an input/output subsystem image. This management may be performed dynamically.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2003Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frank W.
