Abstract:
An Extended Input/output (I/O) measurement block facility is emulated. The facility provides for the collection of relevant I/O measurement data, and the storing for later efficient retrieval of that data in an extended measurement block. The stored data relates to the performance of an I/O subchannel.
Abstract:
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for assigning alias addresses to base addresses. An assignment is provided of base addresses to the devices, wherein the base addresses are used to access the devices assigned to the base addresses. An assignment is provided of a plurality of alias addresses to an alias address pool. The alias addresses in the alias address pool are capable of being dynamically assigned to the devices to service I/O requests to the devices. An Input/Output (I/O) request to access one target device comprising one of the devices is processed. A determination is made as to whether the base address assigned to the target device is available. One alias address is assigned to the target device in response to determining that the base address is not available. The I/O request is issued to the assigned alias address to transmit the request to the target device.
Abstract:
Provided are a method, system, and program for reassigning storage volumes from a failed processing system to a surviving processing system. A first processing system detects a failure of a second processing system. The first processing system determines device groups of storage devices managed by the failed second processing system and determines for each determined device group, hosts that connect to storage devices in the device group. The first processing system sends, for each device group, a unit check to each determined host indicating failure of each device group through one storage device in the device group to which the determined host connects. The determined hosts execute instructions to terminate any I/O operations in progress on the storage devices in the device group in response to the unit check indicating failure of one storage device in the device group and issue, a command to one storage device for the device group to end the busy condition.
Abstract:
I/O measurement data for channels attached to logical control unit queues is obtained related to a plurality of logical control unit queues. A store secondary queue measurement data instruction specifies a range of queues for which extended secondary measurement blocks derived from the I/O measurement data are stored at a memory address specified by the store secondary queue measurement data instruction.
Abstract:
I/O measurement data associated with the performance of an I/O operation process is gathered during the I/O process. The I/O measurement data is saved in an IRB memory location specified by a test subchannel instruction. An I/O interrupt signals the completion of the I/O operation process.

Abstract:
An Input/output (I/O) measurement block facility is provided that creates subchannel measurement blocks (comprising device busy values) related to performance of an I/O operation of a subchannel, wherein a device busy time value is a sum of time intervals when the subchannel is device busy during an attempt to initiate any one of a start function or a resume function at the subchannel.
Abstract:
Input/output (I/O) communications subadapters, such as subchannels, of an I/O subsystem are dedicated to components, such as I/O devices, of the I/O subsystem. The subadapters provide information about the associated components, in response to the execution of I/O instructions. To enhance I/O connectivity, a plurality of sets of I/O subadapters is provided to an operating system image. This allows programs of the operating system image to access a same component via different sets of I/O communications subadapters. Further, it enables an operating system image to use more than 64k subchannels.
Abstract:
An Extended Input/output (I/O) measurement word facility is provided. Provision is made for emulation of the Extended I/O measurement word facility. The facility provides for storing measurement data associated with a single I/O operation in an extended measurement word associated with an I/O response block. In a further aspect, the stored data may have a resolution of approximately one-half microsecond.
