Dynamic data collection communication between adapter functions

摘要

An approach is provided that collects data from a multi-function adapter that is used by multiple functions. In the approach, a master function is dynamically selected from the group of functions. The approach further allows the master function to perform a disruptive adapter data collection while inhibiting performance of disruptive adapter data collection processes by the other (non-master) functions.

主权项

1. A method, implemented by an information handling system that includes one or more processors and a memory, that collects data from a multi-function adapter utilized by a plurality of functions, the method comprising:
dynamically determining a master function selected from the plurality of functions; allowing performance of a disruptive adapter data collection process by the master function; and inhibiting performance of disruptive adapter data collection processes by the non-master functions.
