Estimating the term…
Virtual functions (VFs) running on SR-IOV (single root IO virtualization) capable PCIe devices can migrate in association with VMs using the VFs. A SR-IOV capable PCIe device installed in a host computer can implement the VFs. A VM running on the host and associated with the VF can use the VF to obtain a service such as network communications or access to a NAS device. Migrating the VF in association with the VM can include halting the VM in a VM state on the host, halting the VF in a PCIe state and then obtaining a PCIe state data, restarting the VF in the PCIe state on a second PCIe device of a second host based on the PCIe state data, and restarting the VM in the VM state on the second host, wherein the VM is configured to use the VF on the second PCIe device.
A method comprising:
A peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) device using single root input out virtualization (SR-IOV), the PCIe device configured to:
A system comprising:
