Lcs emulated-physical-function-enabled resource system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a microvisor processing system;
• and
• a microvisor memory system that is coupled to the microvisor processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the microvisor processing system, cause the microvisor processing system to provide a microvisor engine that is configured to:
• provide, in response to LCS configuration operations by a resource management system that is coupled to the microvisor processing system, a Logically Composed System (LCS) and an emulated Physical Function (ePF) that is presented to the LCS as providing resource functionality;
• receive, from an LCS Application Programming Interface (API) subsystem in the LCS via the ePF, an LCS request for the resource functionality;
• transmit, to the resource management system, a microvisor request for the resource functionality that is configured to cause the resource management system to identify at least one resource device for providing the resource functionality;
• establish, with each of the at least one resource device based on the resource management system identifying the at least one resource device for providing the resource functionality, a respective communication channel;
• and
• provide, to the LCS using the at least one resource device, the resource functionality via each respective communication channel, the ePF, and the LCS API subsystem.

A method for enabling resources for a Logically Composed System (LCS) using emulated Physical Functions (ePFs), comprising:

• providing, by a microvisor subsystem in response to LCS configuration operations by a resource management system, a Logically Composed System (LCS) and an emulated Physical Function (ePF) that is presented to the LCS as providing resource functionality;
• receiving, by the microvisor subsystem from an LCS Application Programming Interface (API) subsystem in the LCS via the ePF, an LCS request for the resource functionality;
• transmitting, by the microvisor subsystem to the resource management system, a microvisor request for the resource functionality that is configured to cause the resource management system to identify at least one resource device for providing the resource functionality;
• establishing, by the microvisor subsystem with each of the at least one resource device based on the resource management system identifying the at least one resource device for providing the resource functionality, a respective communication channel;
• and
• providing, by the microvisor subsystem to the LCS using the at least one resource device, the resource functionality via each respective communication channel, the ePF, and the LCS API subsystem.
