Abstract
Techniques for verifiable virtualized storage port assignments in virtual machines are provided. Configuration data for a virtual machine is defined to include a mechanism to verify an identity for the virtual machine in a target physical environment and a mechanism to verify a storage port assignment for use in the target physical processing environment. Before the target physical processing environment initiates the virtual machine an identity for the virtual machine is acquired, the configuration data is verified and the storage port assignment is verified.
