ABSTRACT:
A computer program product, apparatus and method for identifying processors in a multi-tasking multiprocessor network, the computer program product including a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method including storing a service record for a port to which an LID has been assigned, retrieving service records for nodes to which channel paths may connect, retrieving path records that provide address destinations for the nodes identified in the service records, initiating channel initialization for the channel paths defined for the port and removing the service record for the port.
