Abstract
To date any changes in the communication channels between the processors of a computer system required changes to the installation-control software which installs the channels. According to the invention the communication channels of the processor platforms are defined independently of the system configuration during the design period and during the running time are interpreted by the installation software and installed accordingly.
Description
In the computer system such as multicomputer system, processor platform must communicate each other.This utilizes communication port to carry out, and SW uses and intercourses information by described communication port.Because intrasystem each processor platform has different HW/SW functional, so also need different processor communication passages each other.
In order to allow processor interactive communication SW (being called for short IPK-SW) learn the available channel situation in the system, these passages (during operation and/or when system start-up) are stored a lane database (be assigned with or be not assigned with), are stored on the disk from this database replication portion then.This networking data is implicitly installed on the management SW by corresponding order (for example: set up ...),, that is to say the correspondence that the operator need not the management processing applicator platform so that pack other processor platform into.
More stiff to the regulation of processor networking in system so far.That part management SW (this part can for example be called installation control SW or installation control component) of communication port so realizes between the management processor in database, make when new processor is installed, it can form a kind of networking that fixedly installs for this processor type, the also networking that promptly fixedly installs for processor type exactly in the SW code is installed.Yet, also stipulated the maximum system expansion of carrying out according to fixing passage networking from the outset (processor of maximum number) thus for all processor types.The all changes (novel processor, the new communications channel between the processor or the variation of channel type) of processor networking all require to change is responsible for the installation control SW that passage is installed in database.The variation expense of Chan Shenging is higher like this.
Task of the present invention is, a kind of installation control component that overcomes above-mentioned shortcoming is provided.
This task realizes by the described installation control component of claim 1.
The advantage of solution of the present invention has:
●
No longer stipulate maximum system extension
● not regulation passage networking statically, do not stipulate maximum system extension thus yet.
●
Management SW herein depends on network topology
Now, all changes (novel processor, the new communications channel between the processor) of processor networking can not require to change and be responsible for that part of management SW that passage is installed in database.
Tell about embodiments of the invention in detail by accompanying drawing below, wherein accompanying drawing has two width of cloth.
Fig. 1 shows the form of an example, and SW comes control system part (such as processor platform) in the installation aspect the passage networking by it.
Fig. 2 shows passage a kind of example, that institute must produce when the new components of system as directed of C type is installed and networks.
Primary processor includes management SW and static form.Those are not shown among Fig. 2 helps primary processor that DB (or DB of part) is assigned to the passage (loading passage) on all the other processors.These passages are not included in the static form of Fig. 1, but pack into automatically in system start-up at first.
(1) at design time: aspect following, define Official Guidelines
A) processor type: (processor type is used for distinguishing has different HW and/or the functional different disposal applicator platform of SW)
B) channel type: (channel type is used for distinguishing different transport propertys: for example (,) bandwidth (for example high bandwidth is used to load code and data with consequent different application targets, the low middle bandwidth of burst mode communication then is used for the message of switching technology), this channel type also is used for guaranteeing requirement of shelter/safety requirements: utilize the separate communications relation between safety technique message and the switching technology message, can eliminate reciprocal influence, thus, even if for example when higher switching technology load, also can guarantee the fault-signal of safety technique is sent)
(2) at design time: the networking of processor is described statically by these Official Guidelines:
By top example the Official Guidelines listed, in explanation-this explanation is that the programming language of generator program system forms-be the total networking topology of all possible system platform type definition with being suitable for after a while.
The form of Fig. 1 shows example results (processor and 1,2 of A, B and C type, the passage of 3 and 4 types are arranged) after the compiling, described explanation.
The form of seeing in Fig. 1 is as follows:
* processor type 1: the processor type of the new processor of installing
* processor type 2: the processor type of installing with need has the processor type of correspondence
* channel type: defined the characteristic that is installed in the communication port between processor type 1 and the processor type 2.
(3) in the compiling of device program system (computer system-programming system)/and tie-time:
Explanation by design time generates form (form embodiment: see Fig. 1).This form is stored among the DB, and this DB is loaded onto on the primary processor when starting then.
(4) working time: this form is carried out pre-service simply:
Fig. 2 example ground shows this process (seeing: ' setting up processor (Type C) ') by when working a new platform being installed.
In the embodiment of Fig. 1 form, the row that runic is indicated carries out pre-service, so that thus the corresponding mounting list data (networking data) that help local IPK-SW that the passage shown in the dotted line is installed after a while are encased among the DB.In order to find the inlet of this form, the type information of the processor platform of installing about need (being " Type C " herein) is sent to the management SW of processor 1 by order " setting up processor (Type C) ".At this moment, this management SW at first consider in the form as descending, on first hurdle of this row Type C appears for the first time promptly.This row indication SW is installed to the passage of a type 4 on the installed category-B type processor.In view of the above, SW measures one or more installed category-B type processors (being exactly processor 2 and processor 5 in this case) by existing configuration data among the DB, and temporary among DB (networking data dress DB) corresponding networking data according to the regulation of this table row.After this, SW considers next line, and handles this row by identical pattern.
After the above-mentioned work of packing into, management SW indication DB management system is assigned to described networking data on the DB of all the other platforms of system (processor).At last, management SW starts the IPK-SW of platform, and this platform is just read the required relevant networking data of this platform thus from DB, and impels by this networking data platform is carried out required adjustment (such as channel bandwidth, channel recognition, passage use etc.).
Giving new platform during operation (is not new Platform Type! ) when new tunnel is installed, at first networking explanation data dress DB, then it is assigned on the DB of related platform, IPK-SW obtains a trigger pip that new platform is installed at this, so that adjust on request there.
When starting first, the whole form of Fig. 1 is carried out pre-service, this and described embodiment are different.
From above drawing, be used for pack into the SW of DB of networking data irrelevant with the processor platform type of being installed or channel type.Also be that whole loading procedure is only controlled by form.
The abbreviation of using:
DB: database
HW: hardware
IPK-SW: processor interactive communication software
SW: software
