Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to virtual Fiber Channel port migration. In some examples disclosed herein, a failure in a primary physical host bus adapter (HBA) hosting a plurality of virtual HBA ports assigned to a virtual machine may be detected. In response to the detecting, incoming input/output (I/O) requests from the virtual machine may be placed into a wait queue, and the plurality of virtual HBA ports may be migrated to a backup physical HBA. After the plurality of virtual HBA ports have been migrated to the backup physical HBA, the I/O requests in the wait queue may be transferred to an active queue to be processed using the plurality of virtual HBA ports registered on the backup physical HBA.
