  • Patent number: 9183165
    Abstract: A computer program product is provided and includes a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for detecting connections of two or more input/output (I/O) adapters, each of the two or more I/O adapters having one or more solid state devices (SSDs) connected thereto, and presenting a storage class memory address space for all of the connected SSDs that is independent of connections and disconnections between each of the one or more SSDs and each of the two or more I/O adapters and the processing unit.

  • Patent number: 9122508
    Abstract: A computer system includes memory divided into a plurality of logical partitions (LPARs), each LPAR running one of a plurality of instances of an operating system (O/S). The system also includes a processor configured to run a hypervisor program to manage operation of the plurality of LPARs. The processor determines a reference I/O service time of an I/O operation on a server, measures an actual I/O service time of the operation, and determines a delay time of virtualization on the server based on the reference I/O service time and the actual I/O service time.

  • Patent number: 9122512
    Abstract: A method includes determining a reference I/O service time of an I/O operation on a server and measuring, with a processor of the server running a hypervisor configured to manage a plurality of logical partitions (LPARs), each LPAR running one of a plurality of instances of an operating system (O/S), an actual I/O service time of the I/O operation. The method also includes determining, by the processor, a delay time of virtualization on the server based on the reference I/O service time and the actual I/O service time.
