Abstract
A method, by which a user mode application obtains all physical paths that point to a logical unit on a newly-discovered small computer system interface (SCSI) device, may include: sending an input output control command to a kernel component regarding future discovery of any SCSI device; awaiting discovery of a new SCSI device; awaiting generation, by the kernel component, of a unique identifier (UID) and at least one set of physical path information mapping thereto for a logical unit on the newly-discovered SCSI device; and receiving, from the kernel component, the UID and the at least one set of physical path information mapping thereto for the logical unit of the newly-discovered SCSI device.
