A system for allocating resources for use by devices of a computer system. A possible configuration of elements of a resource is obtained. This possible configuration defines the resource elements that are appropriate for operating the devices within the computer system. For a selected device, a determination is made whether a particular resource element is available for use by this device. If not, another possible configuration is obtained and the process begins anew. In contrast, if the particular resource element is available, then this resource element is assigned for use by the selected device. This resource allocation process continues until resource elements have been assigned to the remaining devices.

[ We claim:] [1.] In a system having a plurality of resources, each resource having a plurality of resource elements, a method for allocating said resource elements of said resources for use by devices of a computer system, said method comprising the steps of:(a) obtaining a possible configuration of said resource elements, said possible configuration defining said resource elements of a selected one of said resources that are appropriate for operating a selected one of said devices with said computer system;(b) determining for said selected device whether a particular one of said appropriate resource elements is available for use by a selected one of said devices;(c) if said particular appropriate resource element is not available for use by said selected device, then repeating steps a-b;(d) if said particular appropriate resource element is available for use by said selected device, then assigning said particular appropriate resource element for use by said selected device;(e) repeating steps a-d until said appropriate resource elements have been assigned to remaining ones of said devices; and(f) repeating steps a-e for each of said remaining resources.
