Abstract

Method and system for collecting diagnostic information for network communication is provided. The method includes configuring a host bus adapter (HBA) to operate as a standard HBA while collecting diagnostic information in a diagnostic mode after a trigger condition occurs; storing the diagnostic information in a first memory for the HBA; transferring the diagnostic information from the first memory to a second memory in a host system that is operationally coupled to the HBA; and formatting the diagnostic information for presentation to a user.
