Patent attributes
Implementations of the disclosure provide for hot-plugging of virtual functions in a virtualized environment. In one implementation, a computer system comprising a memory to store parameters of virtual functions and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory is provided. A determination that a virtual machine has no available virtual functions associated with a specified network. A logical network device associated with the specified network is identified. A determination is made that a number of virtual functions associated with the logical network device is below a threshold number of virtual functions. In response, a new virtual function associated with the logical network device is created. Thereupon, a virtual device of the virtual machine is associated with the new virtual function.
