MIPIO information + MIPIO vs MPIO

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am looking for more information on MIPIO.

To give a small background, I need to fix/patch a script in a system which I
have no idea of:
 - basically there is a /dev/mipio device driver on a hardware platform
 - it is configured to get an IP address via ifconfig
 - all the hints is that it's an IP-based distributed filesystem, but there is
no docs whatsoever
 - just need to figure out the specs (terminology mess included) and the purpose
of this /dev/mipio type of device so that i fire the patch and move on

I could find plenty of info on similarly spelling (and contextually similar) 
MPIO (MultiPath I/O), which is usually found also in the context of distributed
filesystems/storages, 
SCSI solutions, etc.
(http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.aix.baseadmn%2Fdoc%2Fbaseadmndita%2Fdevmpio.htm)

I would kindly request if someone could really help point me into the right
direction:
 - is _generally_ MIPIO same as MPIO or not?
 - can someone provide in private some links/docs on MIPIO?
 - can someone provide his/her prior experience with such /dev/mipio
programming/sysadmining?

PS: the only MIPIO references I could find is
"http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/28617";, 
this is why I took the chances of writing to linux.nfs :) - apologies if it's
the wrong place to ask, 
appreciate hints for the right place to ask.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Andrei
