System and method for peripheral bus device failure management

An information handling system for managing peripheral device failures comprising:

• a processor for a peripheral bus, the processor configured to:
• detect a failure of a first bus device at a downstream port from the processor, wherein the downstream port is populated by the first bus device, wherein the processor is communicatively coupled at an upstream port to a root complex and the processor is configured to isolate the failure of the first bus device from the root complex;
• and
• responsive to detecting the failure:
• suspend communication of data to the first bus device;
• receive information regarding a second bus device selected from a cluster of a plurality of bus devices;
• and
• assign the second bus device to the downstream port.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• detect a failure of a first bus device at a downstream port from the processor, wherein the downstream port is populated by the first bus device, wherein the processor is communicatively coupled at an upstream port to a root complex and the processor is configured to isolate the failure of the first bus device from the root complex;
• and
• responsive to detecting the failure:
• suspend communication of data to the first bus device;
• receive information regarding a second bus device selected from a cluster of a plurality of bus devices;
• and
• assign the second bus device to the downstream port.
