    • Mechanisms for differentiating traffic types in a multi-root PCI Express environment are provided. The mechanisms generate a first mapping data structure that, for each single-root virtual hierarchy in the multi-root data processing system, associates a plurality of traffic classes with a plurality of priority groups and maps each traffic class in the plurality of traffic classes to a corresponding virtual channel in a plurality of virtual channels. Moreover, a second mapping data structure is generated that maps each virtual channel in the plurality of virtual channels to corresponding virtual link in a plurality of virtual links of the multi-root data processing system. Traffic of a particular priority group is routed from a single-root virtual hierarchy to a particular virtual link in the plurality of the virtual links based on the first mapping data structure and second mapping data structure.

    • A method and apparatus is provided for routing error messages in a distributed computer system comprising multiple root nodes, and further comprising one or more PCI switches and one or more I/O adapters, wherein each root node includes one or more system images. In one useful embodiment, a method is provided for routing I/O error messages to root nodes respectively associated with the errors contained in the messages. The method includes detecting occurrence of an error at a specified one of the adapters, wherein the error affects one of the system images, and generating an error message at the specified adapter. The method further comprises routing the error message from the specified adapter to the particular root node that includes the affected system image. The error message is then selectively processed at the particular root node, in order to identify the affected system image. Usefully, the step of routing the error message includes using a bus/device/function number associated with the error, together with a routing table located in one of the PCI switches, to route the error message to the correct root node and system image.
    • 提供了一种用于在包括多个根节点的分布式计算机系统中路由错误消息的方法和装置,并且还包括一个或多个PCI交换机和一个或多个I / O适配器,其中每个根节点包括一个或多个系统映像。 在一个有用的实施例中,提供了一种用于将I / O错误消息路由到分别与消息中包含的错误相关联的根节点的方法。 该方法包括检测指定的一个适配器中的错误的发生,其中该错误影响系统映像之一,并在指定的适配器处生成错误消息。 该方法还包括将错误消息从指定的适配器路由到包括受影响的系统映像的特定根节点。 然后在特定根节点处选择性地处理错误消息,以便识别受影响的系统映像。 有用的是,路由错误消息的步骤包括使用与错误相关联的总线/设备/功能号码以及位于其中一个PCI交换机中的路由表将错误消息路由到正确的根节点和系统映像。

    • In a distributed computer system having multiple root nodes, a challenge protocol is provided, for use in determining or confirming the root node in which a PCI Configuration Manager (PCM) actually resides. This node is referred to as the master node. The challenge procedure is activated whenever the identity of the PCM, which is determined by the root node in which it resides, appears to be uncertain. The challenge procedure resolves this uncertainty, and enables the PCM to continue to configure routings throughout the system. In a useful embodiment, a method is directed to a distributed computer system of the above type which is further provided with PCI switches and with adapters that are available for sharing by different nodes. The method includes the steps of selecting a first one of the root nodes to be master root node, and operating the first root node to query the configuration space of a particular one of the PCI switches. The method further includes detecting information indicating that a second root node is considered to be the master root node for the particular switch. A challenge protocol is implemented in response to this detected information, to seek confirmation that the first root node is the master root node. The configuration space querying procedure is continued if the first root node is confirmed to be the master root node, and is otherwise aborted.
    • 在具有多个根节点的分布式计算机系统中,提供质询协议,用于确定或确认PCI配置管理器(PCM)实际驻留的根节点。 该节点称为主节点。 每当由其驻留的根节点确定的PCM的身份似乎不确定时,激活挑战过程被激活。 挑战程序解决了这种不确定性,并使PCM能够在整个系统中继续配置路由。 在有用的实施例中,一种方法针对上述类型的分布式计算机系统,其进一步提供有PCI交换机以及可由不同节点共享的适配器。 该方法包括以下步骤:将根节点中的第一个选择为主根节点,以及操作第一根节点以查询特定一个PCI交换机的配置空间。 该方法还包括检测指示第二根节点被认为是特定交换机的主根节点的信息。 响应于该检测到的信息来实现质询协议,以寻求第一根节点是主根节点的确认。 如果第一个根节点被确认为主根节点,则会继续进行配置空间查询过程,否则中止。

    • Mechanisms for enabling both native and non-native input/output virtualization (IOV) in a single I/O adapter are provided. The mechanisms allow a system with a large number of logical partitions (LPARs) and system images to use IOV to share a native IOV enabled I/O adapter or endpoint that does not implement the necessary number of virtual functions (VFs) for each LPAR and system image. A number of VFs supported by the I/O adapter, less one, are assigned to LPARs and system images so that they may make use of native IOV using these VFs. The remaining VF is associated with a virtual intermediary (VI) which handles non-native IOV of the I/O adapter. Any remaining LPARs and system images share the I/O adapter using the non-native IOV via the VI. Thus, any number of LPARs and system images may share the same I/O adapter or endpoint.
    • 提供了在单个I / O适配器中实现本机和非本机输入/输出虚拟化(IOV)的机制。 这些机制允许具有大量逻辑分区(LPAR)和系统映像的系统使用IOV来共享不为每个LPAR实现必需数量的虚拟函数(VF)的本机IOV使能的I / O适配器或端点, 系统图像。 I / O适配器支持的多个VF分配给LPAR和系统映像,从而可以利用这些VF使用本机IOV。 剩余的VF与处理I / O适配器的非本地IOV的虚拟中介(VI)相关联。 任何剩余的LPAR和系统映像都使用非本机IOV通过VI共享I / O适配器。 因此,任何数量的LPAR和系统映像可以共享相同的I / O适配器或端点。
