Abstract

A mechanism is provided for managing an input/output device communication request. A first operating system passes a call from a first application intended for an input/output device in a second data processing system to a first host fabric interface controller in the first data processing system without processing the call. The first host fabric interface processes the call to determine the second data processing system with which the call is associated. The first host fabric interface initiates a connection to a second host fabric interface in the second data processing system and transfers the call to a second operating system associated with the input/output device in the second data processing system via the connection to the second host fabric interface. The second operating system then processes the call intended for the input/output device without assistance from any application running on the second data processing system.
