DELAY MECHANISM ON FIBRE CHANNEL

摘要

A method can include transmitting a first data from a first adapter to a buffer of a channel adapter device driver at a buffer memory transfer rate. The channel adapter device driver also receives a second data at a first port of the first adapter from a host at a first time. The method also includes determining a second time to send a device end status to the host, the device end status closes a channel from the host to the first adapter. The method also includes sending the device end status to the host at the second time through the first port. The method also includes transferring the second data from the first adapter to the buffer of the channel adapter device driver.

1. A method, comprising:
transmitting a first data from a first adapter to a buffer of a channel adapter device driver at a buffer memory transfer rate, the channel adapter device driver aggregates data from at least the first adapter and a second adapter to send to a disk cache in a hierarchal storage management system; receiving a second data at a first port of the first adapter from a host at a first time; determining a second time to send a device end status to the host, the device end status closes a channel from the host to the first adapter; sending the device end status to the host at the second time through the first port; and transferring the second data from the first adapter to the buffer of the channel adapter device driver.
