1. A storage system, comprising: a memory operable to store multiple sets of interrupt priorities, each set of interrupt priorities corresponding to a different configuration of the storage system; a processor coupled with the memory, the processor operable to acquire and process incoming interrupts according to the interrupt priorities; and an interface coupled with the processor, the interface operable to receive input and to transmit interrupt processing criteria to the processor based on the input, wherein the processor is further operable to receive the interrupt processing criteria from the interface, to select one of the multiple sets of interrupt priorities based upon the interrupt processing criteria, and to implement the selected set of interrupt priorities without losing incoming processing requests for the storage system, and wherein the processor is further operable to handle the incoming interrupts according to the implemented set of interrupt priorities.
