<title>ENABLE_PREPARE_FOR_SUSPEND Subfunction Semantics</title>

<para>This subfunction is used to enable the “Prepare For Suspend”
transport event on a VSCSI or VFC server adapter for which this
function is called. If enabled and when a client partition is
about to be migrated, the “Prepare For Suspend” transport event
will be enqueued on the server's command queue, if active.
The server should then quiesce all I/O to the backing store and
respond when ready by calling the H_VIOCTL READY_FOR_SUSPEND subfunction.
This subfunction should be called after each H_REG_CRQ as H_REG_CRQ will
disable the support. When enabled, a “Resume” transport event will be
enqueued on the server's command queue, if active, when the client
partition resumes regardless of whether it successfully suspended.

<para>Parm-1 is an eight byte timeout value in milliseconds. The
timeout value specifies the maximum amount of time in milliseconds
the Hypervisor should wait after enqueueing the “Prepare for Suspend”
transport event on the server's command queue until receiving the
H_VIOCTL READY_FOR_SUSPEND subfunction from the server. The
time- out value should take into account the maximum amount of
time to queisce I/O operations prior to migration of the client
partition.</para>

<para>This subfunction is used to respond to the “Prepare For Suspend” transport
event on a VSCSI or VFC server adapter for which this function is called. If
enabled via the H_VIOCTL ENABLE_PREPARE_FOR_SUSPEND subfunction, the server
should call this H_VIOCTL READY_FOR_SUSPEND subfunction after receiving the

backing store. If the server is unable to call this subfunction within the
timeout specified in the H_VIOCTL ENABLE_PREPARE_FOR_SUSPEND subfunction,
the migration op- eration on the client partition will be aborted.
