Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a command that requests movement of ownership of a target device from an origin compute element to a destination compute element; removing, from the origin compute element, a translation of a virtual bridge identifier to a first secondary bus identifier, a first subordinate bus identifier, and a first MMIO bus address range, wherein the target virtual bridge identifier identifies a target virtual bridge to which the target device connects; adding, to the destination compute element, a translation of the target virtual bridge identifier to a second secondary bus identifier, a second subordinate bus identifier, and a second MMIO bus address range; removing, from a south chip that comprises the target virtual bridge, a translation of the target virtual bridge identifier to an identifier of the origin compute element; and adding, to the south chip, a translation of the target virtual bridge identifier to an identifier of the destination compute element.
