  • Adaptive network interface configuration
    Patent number: 10791024
    Abstract: Within a data center, network interfaces may vary greatly. Network controllers from various manufacturers may support different capabilities and may be implemented as different types of hardware devices. Embodiments provide techniques for adaptive configuration of a network interface that is migrated from a source IHS to a target IHS. A network migration tool evaluates discrepancies between the source network interface configuration and the target network interface configuration. Based on the identified discrepancies, the network migration tool determines whether the target network interface may be adapted to be compatible, or at least not incompatible, with the source network interface. Multiple IHSs may be evaluated as potential targets for migration to identify a target IHS that utilizes a target network interface that most closely aligns with the configuration of the source network interface, where this alignment includes adaptive modifications of the target network interface.
