Abstract:
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for resource allocation in accordance with one embodiment of the present description, in which a resource allocation such as a buffer credit allocation for a port in a storage area network is initialized as a function of a measurement of a length of a communication link for the port of the storage area network. In one embodiment, the length measurement is a function of a minimum command response time of a command issued over the communication link. Other aspects of resource allocation in accordance with the present description are described.

Claim (Index 17):
A computing system, comprising:\n at least one host; at least one storage unit; and a storage area network having at least one switch, at least one communication link, at least one port, and at least one storage control unit for controlling a storage unit; wherein at least one of the host and the storage area network has a processor and a computer program product for providing a storage area network management system to manage resource allocation in the storage area network wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of the storage area network management system to cause operations, the operations comprising: measuring in a first length measurement, a length of a first communication link of a storage area network wherein the first length measurement is a function of a first minimum command response time of a command issued over the first communication link; obtaining a current data units per second link speed of the first communication link; calculating a first target resource allocation for a first port at a first end of the first communication link, and for a second port at a second end of the first communication link as a function of the link speed of the first communication link and the first length measurement for the first communication link; and configuring a resource allocation for the first and second ports for the first communication link in accordance with the calculated first target resource allocation.
