Dynamic Port and Partition Reconfiguration
I/O Load Balancing: Downstream Port Migration
Goal
The purpose of this section is to:
–
Show the process of migrating a downstream port from one partition to another in an effort to
perform I/O load balancing between two partitions.
–
Use the global signals mechanism to coordinate the migration process.
Assumptions
The switch has been pre-configured by a switch manager device in the following configuration:
–
Partition 0 has ports 0, 2, 3, and 4.
–
Partition 1 has ports 6, 8, 10, and 12.
–
Partition 2 has port 16.
–
Ports 0 (x4) and 8 (x4) are the upstream ports in their respective partitions, each connected to a
root-complex.
–
Port 16 (x1) is configured in NT function mode, and is connected to a switch manager.
–
The other ports (x2) are downstream ports in their respective partitions, and are connected to
endpoint devices.
–
Ports 2, 3, and 4 are assigned device numbers 0, 1, and 2 in partition 0.
–
Ports 8, 10, and 12 are assigned device numbers 0, 1, and 2 in partition 1.
Figure 26.5 shows the initial configuration.
Figure 26.5 I/O Load Balancing Example: Initial Switch Configuration
The global signals mechanism is used for communication between the switch manager device and the
root-complex in partitions 0 and 1. The mechanism is re-configured dynamically depending on the direction
of the communication (i.e., from partitions 0 and 1 to the switch management agent or vice-versa).
