Abstract
A management system and method that generally allocates a virtual function to a virtual function definition of a virtual server, where the virtual function definition of the virtual server is previously assigned with a unique function identifier, and assigns the unique function identifier to the virtual function in response to the allocating of the virtual function, where the unique function identifier causes a discovery of the virtual function by the virtual server.
