Systems and methods for mirroring virtual functions in a chassis configured to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems and a plurality of modular information handling resources

摘要

A method may include, in a chassis configured to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems and a plurality of modular information handling resources, exposing a first virtual function instantiated on a management processor disposed in the chassis to a switch interfaced between a modular information handling system and the management processor. The method may also include communicating, by the management processor, an input/output request from the modular information handling system received by the first virtual function to at least one of a second virtual function instantiated on a first storage controller communicatively coupled to the management processor and a third virtual function instantiated on a second storage controller communicatively coupled to the management processor. The method may further include receiving, by the management processor, an acknowledgment of completion of the input/output request from at least one of the second virtual function and the third virtual function.

1. A system comprising:
a management processor configured to be communicatively coupled to a plurality of information handling systems and further configured to:
expose a first virtual function instantiated on the management processor to a switch interfaced between an information handling system and the management processor; andin response to receiving by the first virtual function an input/output request from the information handling system:
communicate the input/output request to each of two mirrored virtual functions, the mirrored virtual functions comprising:
a second virtual function instantiated on a first information handling resource communicatively coupled to the management processor; anda third virtual function instantiated on a second information handling resource communicatively coupled to the management processor;receive an acknowledgment of completion of the input/output request from each of the second virtual function and the third virtual function; andcommunicate the acknowledgement to the information handling system via the switch and the first virtual function.
