METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY RECONFIGURING A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR ADDED DEVICES

摘要

A method of on-line reconfiguring a data processing system for an added input/output (I/O) device in which a configuration program is called and menus are presented. Based on menu selections, the program causes a device definition to be built. The built definition is used to construct a control block which is stored into main storage during system operation such that the added device is available for use on a real time basis.
