Abstract
A data storage controller includes a link module that selectively sets an interrupt. A control module is external to the link module that includes N buffers where N is an integer greater than 0. The controller allocates at least one of the N buffers to store world wide name ('WWN') table data in response to the interrupt. The controller also internally manages the WWN table data.
