Abstract

See full text

A computer program product, apparatus and method for emulating channels in a multi-tasking multi-processor environment, including identifying a plurality of physical channels having an associated physical channel identifier for each of the plurality of physical channels, associating an emulated channel from a plurality of emulated channels for each of the plurality of physical channels, thereby generating a plurality of emulated channels, each of the plurality of emulated channels having a virtual channel identifier, mapping the plurality of emulated channels on a communications link, thereby generating an emulated channel path for each of the plurality of emulated channels, defining a queue pair link buffer from a plurality of queue pair link buffers for each of the emulated channels and increasing a number of queue pair link buffers.
