Abstract
A system and method can support a signaling method in a virtualization environment. The management domain on one or more physical servers can be provided with a mapping table. The management domain operates to receive a message from the subnet administrator, wherein the message indicates a path record change event, such as a virtual machine (VM) migration event in the network. Then, the management domain can forward the received message to one or more virtual machine associated with the management domain based on the mapping table.
