摘要： A mechanism is provided for balancing I/O among available paths connected to a device. The mechanism partitions paths so a device can use all or only a subset of available paths to a device, depending on the load of I/O for other devices that are sharing the paths. The partitioning of paths is dynamic, readjusting as I/O loads change for the devices.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于在连接到设备的可用路径之间平衡I / O的机制。该机制分割路径，因此设备可以使用设备可用路径的全部或仅一部分子集，具体取决于共享路径的其他设备的I / O负载。路径的分割是动态的，随着设备的I / O负载变化而重新调整。

摘要： A mechanism is provided for monitoring I/O activity of each device and the total I/O activity for each adapter. When there is low I/O activity for the tape subsystem, the I/O for the disk subsystems may be spread across all available adapters and paths. When I/O activity for the tape subsystem increases, the I/O activity for the disk subsystems may be reduced on the adapter processing the tape I/O, but will continue across all other adapters. If the tape subsystem begins to report errors due to I/O starvation, the disk I/O activity may be adjusted until the errors stop.
摘要翻译：提供了一种机制，用于监视每个设备的I / O活动以及每个适配器的总I / O活动。当磁带子系统的I / O活动较低时，磁盘子系统的I / O可能会扩展到所有可用的适配器和路径上。当磁带子系统的I / O活动增加时，可能会在处理磁带I / O的适配器上减少磁盘子系统的I / O活动，但会在所有其他适配器上继续运行。如果磁带子系统由于I / O不足而开始报告错误，则可能会调整磁盘I / O活动，直到错误停止为止。

摘要： The present invention provides a computer implemented method and apparatus to revising logical unit ownership in a host. A host receives an error message from a storage subsystem having at least two storage controllers and at least one logical unit coupled to at least one of the storage controllers. The host suspends I/O from the host to the storage subsystem. The host transmits a verification of logical unit ownership query to the storage subsystem. The host determines that ownership between a host and a logical unit on the at least one of the storage controllers has changed from a mapping table of the host. Responsive to a determination that ownership has changed, the host updates ownership in a mapping table of the host to reflect the ownership between the host and the logical unit. The host resumes I/O from the host to the storage subsystem, wherein the host routinely exchanges I/O with the storage subsystem.

摘要： An error detection mechanism is provided for detecting sequential and distributed errors in a device I/O stream. The sensitivity of the errors is user definable. The result of the error detection is fed back into the path management software, which may use the error information to decide whether a device path should be disabled. The error detection mechanism sets a time span for a time window and counts the number of errors that occur during the time window. Each time a time window ends with at least one error, the sequential error count and the distributed error count are incremented. However, if an I/O returns without an error, the sequential error count is cleared. If the sequential error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled. After a predetermined number of time windows, if the distributed error count reaches a predetermined limit, the path is disabled.
