Abstract
A method of sharing of a function of a device with a plurality of hosts through a PCIe switch is provided. A function on a device is presented to a first host and a second host through the switch. Read and write on the function's register set within the first host and within the second host are captured, thereby enabling a management system of the switch to create a shadow copy of the first host register sets and second host register sets. The creation of sets of shadow queues on the management system is enabled. The first set of shadow queues of the first set of registers is used to direct read and write operations from the first host to the function. The second set of shadow queues of the second set of registers is used to direct read and write operations from the second host to the function.
