Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for automating adapter replacement. An input module receives an identification of a first adapter. A storage configuration module removes the first adapter from a storage subsystem configuration. A host configuration module adds the second adapter to the host operating system configuration. In one embodiment, a failover configuration module removes the first adapter from a failover driver configuration. The host configuration module adds the second adapter to the host operating system configuration. The storage configuration module adds the second adapter to the storage subsystem configuration. Further the failover configuration module may add the second adapter to the failover driver configuration. The identifier module retrieves an identifier from the second adapter in the form of a world-wide port number from the second adapter.
