Abstract
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 and second information handling systems, 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 and second information handling systems, share the network information handling resource using the virtualized access and the network information handling resource is configured to bind a driver to one or more ports, indicating availability to a virtualization environment regardless of an actual connection status.
