Abstract

See full text

A machine implemented method and system for a network executing a plurality of virtual machines accessing storage devices via a plurality of switches is provided. A management application determines a plurality of paths between a computing system executing the virtual machines and a storage device. Each path includes at least one switch that is configured to identify traffic related to a virtual machine. One of the paths is selected based on a path rank. The selected path is then used for transmitting data for migrating the virtual machine from a first storage device location to a second storage device location. A switch in the virtual network receives virtual machine data and is configured to differentiate between virtual machine data and other network traffic. The switch prioritizes transmission of virtual machine data compared to standard network traffic or non-virtual machine data.
