Abstract: Provided is a method of executing a Start Subchannel instruction in a computing environment comprising main storage and storage class memory, said method comprising: responsive to determining that a subchannel identified by the Start Subchannel instruction is an Asynchronous Data Mover (ADM) subchannel, performing: obtaining an operation request block from main storage, the operation request block comprising an address of an operation block; based on the address of the operation block, obtaining the operation block from main storage, the operation block consisting of a request block, a response block, and one or more first move specification blocks (MSBs), wherein the request block comprises an MSB count field having a value indicating the number of one or more MSBs included in and referenced by the operation block, wherein the response block is configured to hold exception conditions, wherein each move specification block is configured to include an operation code field, a block count field, a main storage address field for addressing main storage, a storage class memory address field for addressing storage class memory, a block size field and a flags field; obtaining a move specification block of the one or more move specification blocks; determining based on the operation code in the obtained move specification block an operation that the obtained move specification block is configured to perform on blocks of storage class memory; based on the move specification block, initiating the operation on the blocks of storage class memory associated with a storage class memory address of the storage class memory address field; and responsive to at least initiating the operation and encountering an exception condition, storing information within the response block, wherein the response block comprises an exception flags field, a field validity field, a failing MSB address field, a failing indirect data address word (AIDAW) address field, a failing main storage address field and a failing storage class memory address field, the information relating to one or more exceptions resulting from the operation, wherein the one or more exceptions are related to at least one of: main storage associated with a main storage address of the main storage address field, storage class memory associated with a storage class memory address of the storage class memory address field, or the obtained move specification block, and wherein the information includes an indication of an exception and additional information relating to the exception, the additional information specifying one or more address exceptions.

Abstract: These occur between a processing unit with a host processor and a host memory and one or more input and output units, each designated by a number that is part of the I/O instruction carried through one or more channels with the processing unit. The host memory has a control region containing the control data for the I/O units and these control data have a recognition mark for the operation to be carried out between the I/O unit and the processing unit and a mark (CHPID) for one or more channels.

Abstract: An abstraction for storage class memory is provided that hides the details of the implementation of storage class memory from a program and provides a standard channel programming interface for performing certain actions, such as controlling movement of data between main storage and storage class memory or managing storage class memory.
