Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a means for managing portable Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and virtual machine persistent storage. The invention includes defining a set of available portable IP addresses. When a request for a portable IP address is received from a first virtual machine (VM), a first portable IP address is assigned to the first VM. The assignment of the first portable IP address to the first VM extends for a predetermined amount of time and requires a lease renewal to extend the assignment.
