Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance update operations of a virtual switch on a computing system. In one implementation, an operation on a host computing system may identify an update event for a first virtual switch executing thereon. In response to the update event, any virtual nodes mapped to the first virtual switch may be mapped to a second virtual switch. Once mapped, an update operation may be performed on the first virtual switch and, after completing the update operation, the virtual nodes may be remapped to the first virtual switch.
