Abstract: A method and apparatus for initializing an end-to-end link in a fiber optic communications system in which a pair of nodes interconnect a pair of end devices. A first node, upon initializing a device link segment with an end device to which the node is coupled, sends a signal to the other node over a network link segment indicating that the sending node has initialized its device link segment. The first node completes initialization of the end-to-end link upon receiving a signal from the other node over the network link segment indicating that the other node has initialized its device link segment. In an alternative initialization scheme, a node momentarily operates its data channel in a loopback mode to allow its end device to initialize the device link segment in accordance with a predetermined protocol before returning to a transparent mode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting signals from a plurality of input channels over a TDM optical network, where each of the input channels contains an optical data signal and an electrical control signal containing control information relating to the optical data signal. In accordance with the invention, respective optical receivers convert the optical data signals to respective electrical data signals, which a TDM data multiplexer time-multiplexes to generate a multiplexed data signal. A TDM control signal multiplexer time-multiplexes the electrical control signals to generate a multiplexed control signal that is combined with said multiplexed data signal to generate a composite electrical signal. An optical transmitter generates a composite optical signal from the composite electrical signal that is transmitted over the network, optionally after WDM multiplexing it with other composite optical signals.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and system for sharing an input/output adapter among a plurality of operating system instances on a host server. Virtual memory is allocated and associated with an operating system instance. The virtual memory is translated to one or more real addresses, wherein the one or more real addresses require no further translation. The input/output adapter is exposed to the one or more real addresses. The operating system instance is provided with the one or more real addresses for accessing the virtual memory associated with the operating system instance. Address translation and protection may be performed by the input/output adapter or by the operating system instance.

Abstract: Performance counters are provided for virtualized network interfaces of communications networks, while minimizing the use of hardware resources. A virtualized network interface includes physical resources, as well as logical resources. Dedicated performance counters are provided for the physical resources of the virtualized network interface, as well as for logical partitions coupled to that interface, while non-dedicated performance counters are provided for the logical resources. This enables the provision of performance counters for virtualized network interfaces, while minimizing hardware resources consumed by those interfaces.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for migrating data pages subject to DMA access by temporarily disabling selected DMA operations within a physical I/O adapter. A determination is made as to whether to disable data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter. An operating mode of the physical I/O adapter is set to a particular mode utilizing a mode bit according to the determination of whether to disable data access DMA capabilities. Only data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter are disabled when the mode bit is set. Administrative services operations continue to be performed by the physical I/O adapter when the data access DMA capabilities of the physical I/O adapter are disabled.
