Claim:
1. A method for verifying access consistency to a set of accessed resources over a set of virtual ports, the method comprising: provisioning a resource access group, from a pool of resources, including: (i) a set of virtual resources; (ii) a set of physical resources; and (iii) a set of physical ports; based on provisioning the set of physical ports, automatically provisioning a set of virtual ports for the resource access group; automatically determining a set of accessed resources, wherein the set of accessed resources are a subset of the pool of resources that are provisioned to the resource access group; automatically allocating a group of physical ports in the set of physical ports and a group of virtual ports in the set of virtual ports to each bucket of a plurality of buckets, wherein each allocated group of physical ports and virtual ports indicates their respective bucket in an associated identifier, wherein automatically determining which buckets of the plurality of buckets are accessed by the resource access group; and for only the determined buckets accessed by the resource access group, automatically verifying that the associated set of accessed resources are accessible through each virtual port allocated to the determined respective bucket over each physical port allocated to that determined respective bucket.
