A mechanism for detecting, associating, establishing, and executing an optimal virtualization protocol between a host and a given virtualized device. An Intelligent Host Bus Adapter (IHBA) is claimed that combines storage virtualization with I/O system resource virtualization and incorporates both Dynamic Storage Configuration Protocol (DSCP) and Dynamic I/O Configuration Protocol (DICP) on a common CPU offload platform. The invention enables a comprehensive virtualization solution that includes automatic detection and selection of optimal storage virtualization as well as memory-mapped I/O virtualization protocols on a per resource basis.
