A multi-port Fibre Channel controller is disclosed. Such a multi-port Fibre Channel controller includes a number of Fibre Channel ports, an interface unit coupled to each one of the Fibre Channel ports, a Fibre Channel controller, and a processor. The processor is coupled to the Fibre Channel controller, and the Fibre Channel controller is coupled to control the interface unit and coupled to the subsystem interface. Such a multi-port Fibre Channel controller may be configured as a dual-port Fibre Channel controller by, for example, employing only two Fibre Channel ports (i.e., a first Fibre Channel port and a second Fibre Channel port).
