ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive method, system, and computer product for monitoring I/O performance without using the RIO bus. When executing a performance benchmark run in a remote I/O drawer, the system logs into a bulk power controller, wherein the bulk power controller provides a communications path between the data processing system and the I/O drawer, and wherein the communications path allows the data processing system to access chip register information on the I/O drawer without using a RIO link. Using the communications path, the system may monitor I/O performance and obtain chip register information. The system may further increase performance by using software to detect a load imbalance. Through the communications path, the software is able to dynamically balance the load by changing the chip register settings to allow the initialization registers to handle the load more efficiently.
