Abstract
For a first virtual machine (VM) executing on a physical machine and virtualizing a set of redundant physical adapters installed in the physical machine, a second VM is instantiated on the physical machine. A first physical adapter is reassigned from the first VM to the second VM, the first physical adapter comprising one of the set of redundant physical adapters, the reassigning performed without rebooting a first operating system executing in the first VM. A second rule configuration of the second VM is updated to match a first rule configuration of the first VM, forming an updated second VM. A hypervisor managing the physical machine is caused to redirect traffic for a first virtual adapter associated with the reassigned first physical adapter to the updated second VM.
