Abstract:
Systems and methods for supporting efficient virtualization in a lossless interconnection network. An exemplary method can provide, one or more switches, including at least a leaf switch, a plurality of host channel adapters, wherein each of the host channel adapters comprise at least one virtual function, at least one virtual switch, and at least one physical function, a plurality of hypervisors, and a plurality of virtual machines, wherein each of the plurality of virtual machines are associated with at least one virtual function. The method can arrange the plurality of host channel adapters with one or more of a virtual switch with prepopulated local identifiers (LIDs) architecture or a virtual switch with dynamic LID assignment architecture. The method can assign each virtual switch with a LID. The method can calculate one or more linear forwarding tables based at least upon the LIDs assigned to each of the virtual switches.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for supporting efficient virtualization in a lossless interconnection network, comprising:\n providing, at one or more computers, including one or more microprocessors;\n a plurality of switches arranged in at least two levels, wherein each of the plurality of switches are associated with a linear forwarding table (LFT) of a plurality of LFTs; \n a plurality of host channel adapters, wherein the plurality of host channel adapters are interconnected via the plurality of switches; \n a plurality of hypervisors, wherein each of the plurality of hypervisors are associated with at least one host channel adapter of the plurality of host channel adapters; and \n a plurality of virtual machines, wherein each virtual machine connects to a host channel adapter of the plurality of host channel adapters via a respective hypervisor; \n live migrating a virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines from a first hypervisor at a first host channel adapter to a second hypervisor at a second host channel adapter, and wherein during the live migration, a local identifier (LID) of the virtual machine is updated; and upon the live migration of the virtual machine, updating a set of the plurality of LFTs, the set of the plurality of LFTs being defined based upon a determination of a nearest common ancestor switch of the first host channel adapter and the second host channel adapter.
