Abstract
Systems and methods of sharing legacy devices in a multi-host environment are disclosed. An exemplary method for sharing legacy devices in a multi-host environment includes receiving device information from a legacy device, the device information identifying a target within a virtual machine. The method also includes encapsulating the device information into a corresponding bus transaction for a network switch fabric. The method also includes routing the bus transaction over the network switch fabric in the virtual machine to a host within the virtual machine.
