Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for migrating an operating system from a source computer to a destination computer. Some embodiments include identifying a destination adapter of the destination computer that is coupled for data communications to a SAN that is also coupled for data communications to a source adapter of the source computer, logging off a virtual port name of the source adapter from the login manager, deregistering the virtual port name from the source adapter, registering the virtual port name with the destination adapter, and logging on the destination adapter to the login manager with the virtual port name. Typical embodiments also include transferring the operating system from the source computer to the destination computer.
Abstract:
A method for supervisor partitioning of client resources in a communications environment includes receiving, at a client node, an allocated set of resources over a communications network, and partitioning the allocated set of resources among one or more applications associated with the client node using a local authority. Following the partitioning, communication requests are issued from the one or more applications to a shared resource provider node without inspection by the local authority.

Abstract:
State information is communicated in a network to more efficiently utilize network resources. A first node forms a single extended query requesting state information from at least one logical image of a second node. The extended query is a single query requesting state information for multiple logical images of the first node. The requested state information includes the status of logical paths previously established between the multiple logical images of the first node and the at least one logical image of the second node. Upon sending the extended query to the second node, a single extended response can be formed at the second node having the requested state information.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, a computer program product and a system for managing virtual instances of a physical port attached to a network. The method is based on the Fiber Channel N_Port virtualization for a physical Fiber Channel N_Port. Multiple virtual Fiber Channel adapters share a single physical N_Port among multiple operating system instances. The invention discloses means for the automatic and persistent generation and administration of unique Worldwide Port Names needed for the N_Port virtualization.
