Method to allow a host to replace logical path resources it owns

摘要

A method for replacing logical path resources, a host is able to replace a logical path it owns with a new logical path. Such a system is especially applicable when the condition of “out of resources” has been reached for a port. With this system, a host is guaranteed that it can replace a logical path it owns with a new logical path. It is not necessary for a control unit to have reached its maximum number of logical paths per port. A host is able to replace one logical path with a new logical path any time.
