Virtual port command processing during migration of virtual machine

摘要

In one embodiment, a method includes upon receipt from a first host of a command to pause a virtual port (Vport) associated with a first physical port establishing a connection with the first host, changing a current state of the Vport from an active state to a paused state. The changing of the current state of the Vport to the paused state does not tear down a current session between the Vport and a set of storage disks. The method further includes upon receipt from a second host of a command to resume the Vport at a second physical port establishing a connection with the second host, changing the current state of the Vport from the paused state to the active state and associating the Vport with the second physical port.
