A method may include a hypervisor instantiating a virtual machine including an initiator client and the hypervisor determining whether a virtualized information handling system is interfaced to an associated storage resource via an offload host bus adapter (HBA). If the virtualized information handling system is interfaced to the associated storage resource via an offload HBA, the hypervisor may execute an adapter driver for the HBA, the adapter driver for communicating input/output communications between the virtual machine and the associated storage resource via the offload HBA. If the virtualized information handling system is interfaced to the associated storage resource via another adapter other than an offload HBA, the hypervisor may execute an emulator, the emulator for emulating the functionality of the adapter driver for the HBA and for communicating input/output communications between the virtual machine and the associated storage resource via the other adapter.
