Abstract
A method, computer program product and system that enables dynamic determination of device attributes and dynamic configuration of device drivers for storage devices in a heterogeneous storage environment. Attributes of a device are dynamically determined by an application program, and those attributes are used by the application program to configure the device driver. The application program and the storage device being configured remain operational during the reconfiguration process.
