Problem vMotioning a Virtual Server in VMWare
Hi folks, 500 pointer :)
I need to migrate some live servers around on an ESX farm. I have 4 VMWare servers, let's call them S1, S2, S3 and S4
I need to move VServer1 from S2 to S4.
I have succesfully moved VServer3 from S3 to S4 using vMotion.
When I try to move I get the error...
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --
Failed to migrate Virtual Machine Win2k3APP UKI-WMS01 from host 10.210.252.182 to host 10.210.252.184. Reason: Migration failed. Source: Migration to host <10.210.252.194> failed with connection attempt failed (host unreachable?) (0xbad0055) Destination: Timed out waiting for migration data.
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -
I have tried to ping 10.210.252.182 and get no response, whereas if I ping 10.210.252.184 I get an immediate response.
I suspect that there is a problem with the vMotion port on S2, but need a way to check this/reconfigure or restart, obviously without restarting the server(s)...
Any advise would be most appreciated.

Have you labeled your cables at the physical switch end ? If yes then check whether there is a duplex mismatch at the switch end.
If there is service console access use vmkping to check the vmkernal port.
