Abstract
An apparatus for configuring a port in a multi-port communication adapter includes a quiesce module quiescing communications at one or more first I/O ports of a multi-port communication adapter while allowing communications at one or more second I/O ports of the multi-port communication adapter. A path module removes one or more logical paths between the one or more first I/O ports and one or more remote adapters in anticipation of taking the one or more first I/O ports offline. The offline module takes offline the one or more first I/O ports. The update module updates a port resource of the one or more first I/O ports while allowing a concurrent communication on the one or more second I/O ports of the multi-port communication adapter.
