Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing a set of I/O subsystems. Previously stored I/O subsystem information is compared to current I/O subsystem information collected from the set of I/O subsystems. The I/O subsystem information includes addresses associated with unique identifiers. Information in the set of subsystems is recorrelated if a mismatch is present between the previously stored I/O subsystem information and the current I/O subsystem information in the set of subsystems.
