Systems and methods for dynamic allocation of information handling resources

A system comprising:

• a chassis configured to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems and a plurality of modular information handling resources, each information handling resource received through a slot in the chassis;
• one or more switches configured to provide access of one of the modular information handling resources to one or more of the plurality of modular information handling systems;
• one or more chassis management controllers housed in the chassis and configured to:
• monitor a first information handling resource allocated to one or more modular information handling systems engaged in the chassis to determine if a first triggering event associated with the first information handling resource occurs;
• and
• in response to the first triggering event, allocate an additional information handling resource for all of a portion of the one or more information handling systems to which the first information handling resource is allocated, such that processing and functionality carried out by the first information handling resource prior to the occurrence of the first triggering event is shared between the first information handling resource and the additional information handling resource.

• one or more chassis management controllers housed in the chassis and configured to:
• monitor a first information handling resource allocated to one or more modular information handling systems engaged in the chassis to determine if a failure associated with the first information handling resource occurs;
• in response to the failure, allocate a substitute information handling resource for the one or more information handling systems to which the first information handling resource is allocated;
• and
• in response to the failure, deallocate the first information handling resource from the one or more information handling systems to which the first information handling resource is allocated.
