Virtual fibre channel port migration

A computer device, comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• a first network controller communicatively coupled to the first hardware processor and a first network;
• a persistent memory storage area communicatively coupled to the first hardware processor;
• and
• an instruction memory area communicatively coupled to the first hardware processor, wherein the instruction memory area stores instructions, that when executed by the first hardware processor, cause the first hardware processor to:
• maintain a hypervisor database containing health status with respect to recoverable failure incidents across host bus adaptor (HBA) ports for a source HBA port and a target HBA port, the source HBA port associated with a first VFC connection using a first hardware communication path, the target HBA port associated with a second hardware communication path;
• determine crossing of an action threshold caused by indication of a recoverable failure incident on at least one component in the first hardware communication path;
• identify available components associated with the second hardware communication path capable of supporting the first VFC connection;
• and
• responsive to crossing of the action threshold, initiate migration of the first VFC connection from the first hardware communication path to the second hardware communication path.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to:

• maintain a hypervisor database containing health status with respect to recoverable failure incidents across host bus adaptor (HBA) ports for a source HBA port and a target HBA port, the source HBA associated with a first VFC connection using a first hardware communication path, the target HBA port associated with a second hardware communication path;
• determine crossing of an action threshold caused by indication of a recoverable failure incident on at least one component in the first hardware communication path;
• identify available components associated with the second hardware communication path capable of supporting the first VFC connection;
• and
• responsive to crossing of the action threshold, initiate migration of the first VFC connection from the first hardware communication path to the second hardware communication path.
