Apparatus for efficient communications between partitions in a logically partitioned system, method, and computer program

摘要

[Challenge] Provide a mechanism for performing communication between applications. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Application programming interface associated with the source application running in a logical partition of the first in the logical partitions of a plurality of data processing systems that are logically partitioned (API) is to send it to the destination application the data I receive the request. API sends to the virtualization management mechanism a request that identifies the location of the destination application. In response to receiving the response from the virtualization management mechanism, the location of the destination application, API is, whether a logical partition to the second of the logical partitions of a plurality of data processing systems that are logically partitioned I to judge. And in response to the location of the destination application is a logical partition first 2, API sends to the destination application requests from the originating application using a bypass protocol.
