Abstract
An estimated time to migrate a VM from a source hypervisor to a target hypervisor is calculated. The estimated time is compared to a threshold time and based on the estimated time meeting the threshold time, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. Based on the estimated time not meeting the threshold time, it is determined whether an additional path can be added to the network between the source hypervisor and the target hypervisor. If an additional path cannot be added to the network, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. If an additional path can be added to the network, the additional path is added and the migration via the network is initiated.
