Abstract:
Techniques for configuring a system may include selecting one of a plurality of I/O slots to be allocated a number of lanes connected to a processor; and responsive to selecting the one I/O slot, sending a selection signal to a multiplexer that selects the one I/O slot from the plurality of I/O slots and configures the number of lanes for use by the one I/O slot where the number of lanes connect the one I/O slot to the processor. The system may be a data storage system and the lanes may be PCIe lanes used for data transmission. For each I/O slot, an I/O module may be inserted, removed or replaced (e.g., removed and then replaced with a new I/O card). A management controller may select the one I/O slot and send the selection signal in accordance with one or more policies. The system may support hot plug I/O modules.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 4 , wherein a current configuration includes the number of lanes allocated for use by a particular one of the plurality of I/O slots, and wherein the policy indicates that user approval is needed prior to modifying the current configuration, wherein said modifying causes reconfiguration of the number of lanes for use by another one of the plurality of I/O slots other than the particular one.
