A method and system are provided for a storage area network including a plurality of virtual servers. In one example, the system sends a storage area network message to a second virtual server to prepare to perform one or more functions associated with the storage area network. The system copies a first cache table associated with a first cache memory and a first virtual server to a second cache table associated with a second cache memory and the second virtual server. The system uses a processor to execute one or more storage requests in the second virtual server, by using the first cache memory to support the performance of the one or more functions by the second virtual server, and without completely filling cache data into the second cache memory.
