Identifying dynamically changing virtual storage devices

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• detect an event corresponding to a change in configuration of a virtual storage device, wherein the virtual storage device is comprised of a plurality of portions of a plurality of physical storage devices;
• determine, in response to detecting the event, if the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device;
• and
• transmit, in response to a determination that the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device, a notification of the results of the change in configuration of the virtual storage device to one or more recipient devices or applications.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• detect an event corresponding to a change in configuration of a virtual storage device, wherein the virtual storage device is comprised of a plurality of portions of a plurality of physical storage devices;
• determine, in response to detecting the event, if the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device;
• and
• transmit, in response to a determination that the change in configuration of the virtual storage device results in a change in the types of physical storage devices that are part of the virtual storage device, a notification of the results of the change in configuration of the virtual storage device to one or more recipient devices or applications.
