Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for providing DP capabilities on a computer system is provided. The DP capabilities include hot-add and hot-replace of various hardware components such as a processor, memory, and an I/O device to the computer system. The namespace of the hardware components on a computer system is separately created and stored. Some portion of the hardware components is prevented from being recognized during an initial boot. The unrecognized hardware components can be recognized by manipulation of the namespace modules.
