Method and apparatus for providing concurrent patch using a queued direct input-output device |
摘要 |
A method and an apparatus for providing concurrent patch in a computing network environment using microcode and having a queued direct I/O and a main memory in processing communication with an adapter. First it is allowed for a new level of microcode to be installed to an adapter without interrupting any running applications and/or services. It is then determined if the affected adapter is a network or a channel adapter. If the adapter is a channel adapter, applications using the channel adapter are to run without requiring any connection type information to be kept across any code updates. If the adapter is determined to be a network adapter, all adapter sessions are kept alive and activated while accessing information about any client station connected to a LAN and each present in said environment.
