Abstract
According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for automatic network reconfiguration associated with a failover event is provided. The method may include instructing a file system to capture a plurality of attributes associated with a plurality of data following the failover event, whereby the plurality of attributes comprises a fileset identifier, a first gateway node identifier, and a second gateway node identifier. The method may include determining, based on the captured fileset identifier, a virtual local area network associated with the fileset, whereby the determined virtual area network includes at least one software defined network switch. The method may include reconfiguring the at least one software defined network switch to stop sending a plurality of network traffic to the first gateway node and to start sending the plurality of network traffic to the second gateway node, whereby the plurality of network traffic is associated with the fileset.
