Abstract:
Host computing systems with the ability to efficiently identify the Infiniband™ (IB) addressing parameters corresponding to Fiber Channel I/O devices that are accessible through IB-to-Fiber Channel adapters. An efficient apparatus and program product is described to store the IB addressing parameters pertaining to individual Fiber Channel I/O devices on a subnet administration database, and an efficient mechanism to recover from the database, the IB addressing parameters corresponding to all physical paths by which a desired Fiber Channel I/O device is accessible.
