LIVE MIGRATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINES USING VIRTUAL BRIDGES IN A MULTI-ROOT INPUT-OUTPUT VIRTUALIZATION BLADE CHASSIS

摘要

A method for managing migration of a virtual machine includes accessing a first information handling system and a second information handling system, accessing a network information handling resource, using one or more switches to virtualize access of the network information handling resource to the first information handling system and the second information handling system, accessing a virtual bridge associated with the network information handling resource, accessing a virtual machine configured to access the resources of the first information handling system, and copying the operational state of the virtual machine from the first information handling system to the second information handling system using the first virtual bridge. The first information handling system and the second information handling system share the network information handling resource using the virtualized access.
