Abstract
A method, system, and program product for hypervisor controlled redundancy for Input/Output (I/O) paths using virtualized I/O adapters is provided. A hypervisor detects a virtual machine exceeding a pre-defined bandwidth threshold. The hypervisor searches a shared pool of free virtual functions (VF) for a free VF. If the shared pool of free VFs is not depleted, a free VF is allocated to the virtual machine (VM). If the shared pool of free VFs is depleted, the active VMs are examined for VF capacity that may be donated to the triggering VM.
