Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for adapter configuration in accordance with one embodiment of the present description, in which a set of configuration data structures including both a primary and a secondary configuration data structure, may be automatically created by automatic adapter configuration control logic. Upon detection of the replacement of the original host adapter with a replacement host adapter, the primary configuration data structure, for example, may be automatically selected to configure the replacement host adapter. In the event of a failure in the configuration process, the secondary configuration data structure may be automatically selected to configure the replacement host adapter. Other aspects of adapter configuration in accordance with the present description are described.
