Method and system for using an in-line cbkp_redit extender with a host bus adapter


Abstract:

A storage area network (“SAN”) and a system is provided. The SAN includes, a host bus adapter operationally coupled with a cbkp_redit extender, wherein the cbkp_redit extender receives frames from a Fibre Channel network and sends the received frames to the HBA based on buffer space available in the HBA. The HBA notifies other Fibre Channel ports of buffer space available in the cbkp_redit extender. The HBA sends a signal to the cbkp_redit extender notifying the cbkp_redit extender of available buffer space in the HBA. The HBA includes a management port for interfacing the HBA with the cbkp_redit extender.
