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.
