Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for managing related devices for virtual machines in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes: associating, by a processing device executing a hypervisor, hypervisor data with a first bridge device; attaching a first device associated with a virtual machine to the first bridge device; identifying a second device related to the first device; associating, by the processing device, the hypervisor data with the second device. In some embodiments, the second device is a failover device of the first device.
