ABSTRACT:
A method and system processing non-data frames in a host bus adapter with a main processor and a first processor coupled to a host system and fibre channel is provided. The method includes, examining non-data frames; storing non-data frame information; notifying the first processor of non-data frames; and processing non-data frames without generating an interrupt for the main processor. The host bust adapter includes a fibre channel module (“FPM”) with a state machine, wherein the fibre channel module receives and examines the non-data frames and stores non-data frame information in a FIFO. The FPM notifies the first processor that the non-data frames have been received.
