<p>A method and system for sharing a communication port (12) between a plurality of servers (10, 14) through a communication mechanism (18). The method includes the steps of requesting access to the shared communication port by a first server (24), linking the first server to the shared communication port by the communication mechanism (26), requesting access to the shared communication port by at least one other server (28), linking the other server(s) to an available communication port by the communication mechanism (30), returning a status to the other server(s) indicating a link with the shared communication port by the communication mechanism (32), and accepting requests for the shared communication port by the first server (42). <IMAGE></p> |
