I am getting this timeout error in vcenter when doing a vmotion of a vm. any idea what this is?
this is on esxi 5.1 914609
the vMotion vmk and the nfs vmk are in separated vlan's, but are in the same standard vswitch which have 2 uplinks. The uplinks are from 2 separated Qlogic 8152 CNA's.
I already check the driver and firmware version and it is ok. both are in the vsphere 5.1 hcl.
YES!!!!
We were able to get this problems solved by the following:
On the R710 host with the 8152 CNA card do the following:
1. Disable the MSIX capability
esxcli system module parameters set -m qla2xxx --parameter-string "ql2xenablemsix=0"
2. Change the network packet pool size
In vCenter, navigate to the affected Host. Choose Configuration, Choose Advanced Settings under System. Find VMkernel.Boot.netPktPoolMaxSize and change it from 656 to 800.
3. Finally, the Most critical change is to double the netPktHeapMaxSize.
In vCenter, navigate to the affected Host. Choose Configuration, Choose Advanced Settings under System, Change the value of VMkernel.Boot.
Try this Simple thing. Reconfigure HA and DRS for cluster. Most of the issues will solve.

Hey scott, thank you very much!!
this solution worked perfectly. vmotion operations are now flying, and without halting.
Hi,
I had faced same issue. As my troubleshooting I came to know this issue is related with HA. I tried to reconfigure the HA on host but didn't worked.
To resolved I removed the HA from host. Rebooted the host & then configured HA on the host.
This happens if HA is unable to updated the record of VM in his protected list.

I was able to change the vMotion IP, worked like a champ. Not sure what caused it, but its working fine for me now. Thought I would post.
