Live migration of virtual machines using virtual bridges in a multi-root input-output virtualization blade chassis

A method for managing migration of a virtual machine, comprising:

• accessing a first information handling system and a second information handling system;
• accessing a network information handling resource;
• using one or more switches, virtualizing access of the network information handling resource to the first information handling system and the second information handling system, wherein the first information handling system and the second information handling system share the network information handling resource using the virtualized access;
• accessing a first 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.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• and
• computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:
• access a first information handling system and a second information handling system;
• access a network information handling resource;
• using one or more switches, virtualize access of the network information handling resource to the first information handling system and the second information handling system, wherein the first information handling system and the second information handling system share the network information handling resource using the virtualized access;
• access a first virtual bridge associated with the network information handling resource;
• access a virtual machine configured to access the resources of the first information handling system;
• and
• copy the operational state of the virtual machine from the first information handling system to the second information handling system using the first virtual bridge.
