Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a system and method by which changes in states of devices within a computer system are identified and understood by relevant parts of the system. The system responds to state changes in a well-defined and predictable way without requiring a reboot cycle of operation. The state changes can be classified as a 'hard event' or a soft event.' Each event may further classified as, among others, a 'device removed' event or a 'device added' event.
