Abstract:
1. A method for handling a request from a hypervisor in a computing system, comprising: receiving, at a virtual asynchronous services interface (VAST) from a hypervisor, a request directed to a service provider device; converting the request to a command data-link interface (CDLI) format; transmitting the CDLI formatted request to an operation-specific module; converting, by the operation-specific module, the CDLI formatted request to a command format corresponding to the service provider device; transmitting, by the operation-specific module, the service provider device formatted request to the service provider device; receiving a response from the service provider device at the operation-specific module; converting, by the operation-specific module, the response from the service provider device to the CDLI format; transmitting, by the operation-specific module, the CDLI formatted response to the VASI; converting the CDLI formatted response to a format corresponding to the hypervisor; and transmitting the hypervisor formatted response to the hypervisor.
