    摘要: A method includes measuring input/output traffic for respective hosts that are connected to a Fibre Channel N_Port Virtualizer (FC-NPV) switch, which is in communication with a first N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) core switch via a first port channel and with a second NPIV core switch via a second port channel; determining that traffic carried on the first port channel between the FC-NPV switch and the first NPIV Core switch exceeds a predetermined threshold compared to traffic carried on the second port channel; and re-assigning traffic from a given host carried on the first port channel to the second port channel between the FC-NPV switch and the second NPIV core switch.
