Abstract: Information maintained in a port control block of an embedded port of a host bus adapter is stored in a host bus adapter memory, wherein the information corresponds to login attributes and state data of remote ports. In response to storing the information in the host bus adapter memory, code in the embedded port is updated. In response to the updating of the code in the embedded port, the stored information is restored from the host bus adapter memory to the port control block of the embedded port.

Abstract: An interface hardware of a device suspends processing of frames from a receive queue maintained by a firmware stored in the memory of the interface hardware. New firmware is loaded for the interface hardware, in response to the suspending of the processing of frames from the receive queue, and in response to receiving at least one command subsequent to loading of a new driver software for a driver of the device. The processing of frames from the receive queue is resumed, in response to the loading of the new firmware.

Abstract: Processing of frames from a receive queue maintained by a port firmware of an embedded port of a host bus adapter is suspended via a request from a driver of the host bus adapter. New driver software is loaded for the host bus adapter and new port firmware is loaded in the embedded port, in response to the suspending of the processing of frames from the receive queue. The processing of frames from the receive queue is resumed via another request from the driver of the host bus adapter, in response to the loading of the new driver software and the new port firmware.
