CONFIGURING AN INPUT/OUTPUT ADAPTER

摘要

A computer-implemented method includes initializing a driver associated with an input/output adapter in response to receiving an initialize driver request from a client application. The input/output adapter may be initialized to enable adapter capabilities of the input/output adapter to be determined. The computer-implemented method also includes determining the adapter capabilities of the input/output adapter and determining slot capabilities of a slot associated with the input/output adapter. The computer-implemented method further includes setting configurable capabilities of the input/output adapter based on the adapter capabilities and the slot capabilities.
