ABSTRACT:
A data processing system that provides hot-plug add and remove functionality for individual, hot-pluggable components without disrupting current operations of the overall processing system. The processing system includes an interconnect fabric that includes hot plug connector at which an external hot-pluggable component can be coupled to the data processing system and logic components include configuration logic and routing and operating logic. When a hot-pluggable component is connected to the hot plug connector, the service element automatically detects the connection and selects the correct configuration file for the extended system. Once the configuration file is loaded and the system checks of the new element indicates the new element is ready for integration, the new element is integrated into the existing system, and the OS allocates workload to the new element. From a customer perspective, the entire process thus occurs without powering down or disrupting the operation of the existing element.
