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; and

    in 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; and

    a 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; and

    communicate the acknowledgement to the information handling system via the switch and the first virtual function.
