6.7 Vmotion issue with new host

Just installed new Esxi host running 6.7. Everything looks green.  All datastores are present.  All networks have portgroups.  But when i try to vmotion i get :

Failed waiting for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host,

I confirmed vmotion enabled on iscsi and management portgroup just for sake of troubleshooting.   Any help would be great

time to break out vmkping, and start testing connectivity  between "vMotion Tagged" nics....

use -I to ensure correct packets leave correct nic...

also check frames (e.g. jumbo frames ot MTUs are the same between hosts!)

also start checking logs.

if this is production, you don't score very highly for that!

yeah, basically it was a replacement, and it was cabled to ports that weren't part of the port channel that was setup for them. I blame our networking guy..lol
