Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for implementing a Virtual Switch (vSwitch) architecture that supports transparent virtualization and live migration. In an embodiment, a vSwitch with prepopulated Local Identifiers (LIDs). Another embodiment provides for vSwitch with dynamic LID assignment. Another embodiment provides for vSwitch with prepopulated LIDS and dynamic LID assignment Moreover, embodiments of the present invention provide scalable dynamic network reconfiguration methods which enable live migrations of VMs in network environments.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for supporting virtual machine live migration in a subnet, comprising:\n providing, at one or more computers, including one or more microprocessors,\n one or more switches, wherein each of the one or more switches comprises a plurality of ports and a linear forwarding table (LFT), \n a plurality of host channel adapters, wherein each of the host channel adapters comprises a virtual function, \n a plurality of hypervisors, wherein each of the plurality of hypervisors is associated with at least one host channel adapter of the plurality of host channel adapters, and \n a plurality of virtual machines, wherein each of the plurality of virtual machines is associated with at least one virtual function; \n live migrating a first virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines running on a first hypervisor of the plurality of hypervisors to a second hypervisor of the plurality of hypervisors; and wherein the first hypervisor is associated with a first host channel adapter of the plurality of host channel adapters, and the second hypervisor is associated with a second host channel adapter of the plurality of host channel adapters.
