Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method, systems, and devices to migrate a virtual fibre channel (VFC) connection from a first hardware communication path to a second hardware communication path within a fibre channel (FC) network prior to failure of a device in the first hardware communication path. For example, a hypervisor database may contain health status with respect to recoverable failure incidents across host bus adaptor (HBA) ports for a source HBA port and a target HBA port associated with a first VFC connection using the first hardware communication path. If it is determined that a number of recoverable failure incidents on at least one component in the first hardware communication path has occurred, migration of the first VFC connection from the first hardware communication path to a second hardware communication path may be initiated prior to actual hard failure.
