Techniques are provided for management of virtual machines in a Fiber Channel (FC) network that comprises a switched fabric having a plurality of switch ports (disposed in one or more switches). In accordance with one example, a Fabric Login (either FLOGI or FDISC) request is received, on a first switch port, from a first virtual machine. A determination is made as to whether the first virtual machine is currently logged into the switched fabric via a second switch port. If the first virtual machine is currently logged into the switched fabric via a second switch port, a determination is made as to whether the first virtual machine is an element (or part) of a virtualization zone defined for the switched fabric. If the first virtual machine is an element of the virtualization zone, the Fabric Login request is accepted from the first virtual machine via the first switch port and the first virtual machine is logged out of the switched fabric at the second port. |
