Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving on a network side of a data center network a migration notification related to migration of a virtual resource from a source host device to a target host device. The source host device and the target host device can be on a server side of the data center network different than the network side of the data center network. The virtual resource can be logically defined at the source host device. The method can also include defining, before migration of the virtual resource is completed, an identifier representing a mapping of the virtual resource to the target host device in response to the migration notification. The defining can be performed on the network side of the data center network.
