Abstract
Systems and methods for connecting a device to one of a plurality of processing hosts. A virtual interface card (VIC) adapter learns the number and location of the hosts and an identification of the device; receives a mapping of the device to a selected host where in the host is selected from the plurality of hosts; and dynamically builds an interface that connects the device to the selected host.
