Abstract
Implementations of the disclosure provide for hot-plugging of virtual functions in a virtualized environment. In one implementation, a computer system determines that virtual functions associated with a logical network for a virtual machine hosted on a first host system are unavailable on the first host system, identifies a logical network device on a second host system that is communicably accessible from the first host system, and determines that the logical network device on the second host system has a number of available virtual functions associated with the logical network. The computer system then migrates the virtual machine from the first host computer system to the second host computer system to allow the virtual machine to access the number of available virtual functions associated with the logical network on the second host system and associates a virtual device of the virtual machine with the number of available virtual functions.
