Abstract
A system comprises a first enclosure comprising a plurality of device bays and a first enclosure virtual connect device that is configured to virtualize one or more of the device bays in the first enclosure. The system also comprises a second enclosure comprising a plurality of device bays and a management server communicatively coupled to the first enclosure virtual connect device. At least one bay in the first enclosure has a device included therein. That device uses an associated profile that defines, at least in part, how that device is virtualized. The management server is configured to migrate the profile for use by a device in a bay of the second enclosure.
