Data processing arrangements including a channel adaptor shared by a plurality of operating systems (OS's) for data transmission/reception, coupled to the PCI bus on a PCI bus side of the channel adapter, and including only one connecting port on an input/output (I/O) side of the channel adaptor. An input/output process is executed between each OS and the channel adaptor by using input/output process control data specifying I/O data each having an identifier. Configuration information is provided, defining the identifier of the input/output process control data which is usable by each respective OS. The channel adaptor can process a plurality of input/output process control data; and each OS uses the input/output process control data corresponding to a usable identifier and defined in the configuration information, and thereby, a plurality of OS's control input/output process control data have different identifiers relative to the channel adaptor to execute the input/output process. |
