Abstract

A system and method can support virtual machine live migration in a network. A plurality of hosts can be interconnected via the network. Each host contains one or more virtual machines. At least one virtual machine operates to perform a live migration from a first host to a second host. The virtual function, which is attached to a queue pair (QP), can be supported by a host channel adapter (HCA) on a host.
