    • A computer system and processing method are provided for coupling multiple physical processing nodes together, wherein each physical processing node is characterized as having its own memory, by either at least one channel which is independent of and coupled to the multiple physical processing nodes or by at least one input/output (I/O) processor, again which is independent of and coupled to the multiple physical processing nodes. The at least one channel and/or the at least one I/O processor couple the multiple physical processing nodes to at least one shared input/output device. Sharing of the at least one channel and/or at least one I/O processor is practical by providing "indirect logical addressing" using logical address tables within the channel subsystem. The logical address tables associate an image identifier (Image.sub.-- ID) and processing node identifier (PN.sub.-- ID) concatenation with an indexed logical address for use in communicating I/O operation parameters across the at least one channel.

    • An Internal I/O Facility (iIOF) having a general interface for executing I/O related applications in an Input/Ouput SubSystem (IOSS) of a computer system. IIOF applications are executed in the IOSS outside the scope of CPU applications executed under the operating system (OS) of the computer system. IIOF applications are allowed to use all facilities in the IOSS. An iIOF subchannel extension is provided for those subchannels which can execute an iIOF application. IIOF subchannel extensions contain interception control fields which determine if conventional processing for the subchannel by the IOSS is to be intercepted to execute an iIOF application. A front-end interception bit in a subchannel extension is used to initiate iIOF application execution when the subchannel is taken from the IOSS work request queue. A back-end interception bit in a subchannel extension is used to initiate iIOF application execution when the subchannel is to have status put on the IOSS interruption queue. The iIOF application is defined in a field in the iIOF subchannel extension. The IOSS may front-end intercept I/O requests made by the OS, and the IOSS may back-end intercept status received by the IOSS for I/O interruptions to be generated by the IOSS.

    • Automatic machine methods and apparatus for determining which components of an I/O configuration are shared by other components of the configuration. The information can be obtained through the use of existing self-description facilities and unique identifiers. By noting which channel paths are used to obtain configuration-data records and examining the unique identifiers provided for each I/O items it can be determined which I/O devices are accessible through the same control unit, and which control units provide access to the same I/O device. Furthermore, by examining the unique identifiers provided, it can be determined which I/O subsystems and which control units or channel subsystems are accessible through the same dynamic switch and which dynamic switches provide access to the same I/O subsystem of channel subsystem. A programmable subchannel is provided to enable communication between a CEC and an electrically-connected I/O item not represented in the current I/O configuration description being used by the CEC. Without the programmed subchannel, the CEC cannot access any I/O item not represented in the CEC's current I/O configuration description.

    • A method and system to eliminate service hardware previously provided with an adapter by providing a novel way to transfer its hardware service functions to a remote service hardware found elsewhere in a computer system, such as a mainframe. The transferred service controls include enabling the remote service hardware to control the updating of the adapter microcode; remotely control a recovery process for the adapter by remotely initializing its microcode, and remotely logging out and recovering from error conditions detected in the adapter; and remotely forcing a logout and recovery when the host OS detects a failure in the adapter. A standard I/O channel interface (optical or electronic) is provided between the adapter and an IOSS (Input Output Subsystem) of a computer system which has its own service processor element (SPE) used for servicing the computer system per se. The invention provides virtual service hardware for the adapter, but uses the SPE for its service hardware. The SPE is remote from the adapter in the sense that the SPE and the adapter can only communicate with each other over the standard I/O channel interface. The servicing functions required by the adapter are transferred to, and handled by, the SPE by internal I/O facilities (iIOF) provided in the IOSS, which change the internal subchannel architecture of the IOSS.
    • 一种通过提供将其硬件服务功能传送到诸如大型机等计算机系统中的别处找到的远程服务硬件的新颖方式来消除先前提供有适配器的服务硬件的方法和系统。 转移的服务控制包括使远程服务硬件能够控制适配器微代码的更新; 通过远程初始化其微代码远程控制适配器的恢复过程,并远程注销并从适配器中检测到的错误状况恢复; 并在主机操作系统检测到适配器出现故障时远程强制执行注销和恢复。 适配器和计算机系统的IOSS(输入输出子系统)之间提供标准I / O通道接口(光学或电子),其具有用于维护计算机系统本身的其自己的服务处理器元件(SPE)。 本发明为适配器提供虚拟服务硬件,但是使用SPE作为其服务硬件。 在SPE和适配器只能通过标准I / O通道接口相互通信的情况下,SPE远离适配器。 适配器所需的维修功能由IOSS中提供的内部I / O设备(iIOF)传输到SPE并由SPE处理,从而改变了IOSS的内部子通道架构。
