Original Abstract Submitted
In part, in one aspect, the disclosure relates to a method of enabling hot plugging operations in a computer system. The method mat include initializing a platform driver, wherein the platform driver is installed on a computer system running an operating system; disabling, using the platform driver, an interrupt function and a hardware detection notification function of the computer system; hot plugging a PCIe node in the computer system; detecting, using the platform driver, the hot plugging of the PCI node in the computer system; configuring the PCIe node, using the platform driver, wherein the configured PCIe node comprises a PCI hierarchy, the PCI hierarchy comprising an allocation of PCI bridges and devices of the configured PCIe node; and bringing the devices of the hot plugged configured PCIe node into service for use by the computing system.
