Abstract

A method, non-transitory machine readable medium, and system are provided for modifying a device-specific module (DSM) corresponding to a storage device. In some embodiments, the method includes registering a first device-specific module (DSM) with a Multipath I/O (MPIO) module. The MPIO module provides one or more interfaces of the first DSM that redirect to one or more interfaces of a second DSM. The second DSM is modified to a modified second DSM. The MPIO module accesses the one or more interfaces of the first DSM and the accesses are redirected, by the one or more interfaces of the first DSM, to one or more interfaces of the modified second DSM.
