1. A storage system, comprising: a memory operable to store interrupt priorities; 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 and to modify the interrupt priorities stored in the memory based upon the interrupt processing criteria without losing incoming processing requests for the storage system, and wherein the processor is further operable to handle the incoming interrupts according to the modified interrupt priorities responsive to modifying the interrupt priorities.
