Systems particularly a virtualization switch or a storage device, which
include virtual ports connected to virtual devices with virtual worldwide
names and virtual LUNs. Because Fibre Channel environment hosts can track
worldwide names from one port to another and allow continuity in that
regard, the virtual worldwide names are provided with relevant virtual
LUNs and connected these to virtual ports so that the virtual devices can
be moved as desired to overcome failures or to allow load balancing.
