Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a coupling of a device to an interface of the host machine. The method also includes determining, through an operating system of the host machine whether the device coupled to the interface of the host machine is same as another device that is formerly coupled to the interface of the host machine as indicated in a topology file of the operating system. In addition, the method includes modifying the topology file maintained in the operating system to remove a mapping information of the other device that is formerly coupled with the interface of the host machine in the topology file to logically decouple the other device from the interface of the host machine and to add a mapping information of the device coupled with the interface in the topology file to logically couple the device with the interface of the host machine.
