Live migration of virtual machines using virtual bridges in a multi-root input-output virtualization blade chassis

摘要

A system including first and second information handling systems may implement: a virtual bridge associated with a network information handling resource, a virtual machine to access the resources of the first information handling system; a virtualization environment to migrate the virtual machine from the first to the second information handling system using the virtual bridge; a first virtual function mapping the network information handling resource and the first information handling system; a second virtual function mapping the network information handling resource and the second information handling system; and a physical function mapping the network information handling resource and a chassis management controller. The physical function may be a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) I/O Virtualization (IOV) physical function.
