METHOD AND HOST NODE FOR CONFIGURING A REMOTE NODE AND A HOST NODE

摘要

Embodiments of the present technology presented herein relate to a method for configuring a remote node (6) and to a host node (4) for performing said configuring of the remote node (6). The present technology presented herein also generally relates to embodiments of a method for reconfiguring the host node (4) and to a reconfigurable host node (4). More particularly, the embodiments presented herein relate to configuring the remote node (6) and reconfiguring the host (4) by duplicating Peripheral Component Interconnect express, PCIe, hot-plug elements (12) such that they are present at both the host node (4) and the remote node (6). Furthermore there is introduced a connection state indicator (20) at both the host node (4) and the remote node (6) for indicating that an optical connection has been established between the host (4) and remote (6) node.
