Abstract
A virtual non-volatile memory is simulated for a virtual switch. Operating instructions from the non-volatile memory of a physical switch may be translated into a flash type file. The flash type file may be stored on a virtual storage area in the virtual switch. Operating instructions in the virtual switch may access the flash type file in the virtual storage area without the need to access the non-volatile memory in the physical switch.
