  • Managing by a hypervisor flexible adapter configurations and resources in a computer system
    Patent number: 10831696
    Abstract: Managing flexible adapter configurations in a computer system including assigning an initial amount of resources to a set of empty expansion bus slots of the computer system; detecting an adapter has been attached to one of the set of empty expansion bus slots; receiving, by a hypervisor, a request for additional resources for use by the detected adapter, wherein the additional resources are in addition to the initial amount of resources assigned to the expansion bus slot occupied by the detected adapter; determining, by the hypervisor, an availability of the additional resources for the detected adapter; in response to determining that the additional resources are available for the detected adapter, assigning, by the hypervisor at runtime, the requested additional resources to the detected adapter.

  • Dynamically bypassing a peripheral component interconnect switch
    Patent number: 10387349
    Abstract: Dynamically bypassing a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) switch including preparing, during run time, a PCI host bridge for disconnection from the PCI switch, wherein the PCI host bridge is connected to a first PCI slot via the PCI switch; toggling, during run time, an electrical switch, wherein toggling the electrical switch bypasses the PCI switch and creates a direct connection between the PCI host bridge and the first PCI slot; and configuring, during run time, the PCI host bridge for the direct connection between the PCI host bridge and the first PCI slot.
