A processor compatibility module determines a processor compatibility status for one or more processors. The one or more processors coordinate data transfers to and from the plurality of host adapters. A positive processor compatibility status indicates that each of the one or more processors is compatible with the communications protocol. A compatibility summary module determines a compatibility summary for the plurality of host adapters and the one or more processors.
