Abstract
Examples provided herein describe a system and method for migrating virtual machines. For example, a target hypervisor of a target device may determine whether bandwidth exists on the target device to migrate a source set of virtual machines from a source device. The target hypervisor may determine whether bandwidth exists by: determining whether a source total amount of bandwidth is less than an available target total amount of bandwidth on the target set of host bus adaptors; and, responsive to determining that the source total amount of bandwidth is less than the available target total amount of bandwidth, moving a first target virtual host bus adaptor of the target set of virtual machines across the target set of host bus adaptors to make available the source total amount of bandwidth to migrate the source set of virtual machines. Responsive to determining that the source total amount of bandwidth exists, the source set of virtual machines may be migrated to the target device.
