Abstract
A system and method for checking a current load on at least one virtual endpoint of a path assigned to a virtual connection that represents communication between a client and server over a fiber channel network using Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) communication. The method further includes selecting an alternate path between the client and serve over the fiber channel network, migrating a virtual connection to the selected alternate path, and messaging the client to utilize the selected alternate path using SCSI over the fiber channel network.
