Regarding moving ESXi hosts across the Vcenters

Hi All,

I'm getting an error while moving a ESXi host from a VCenter to another Vcenter.

The error says "Cannot install the VCenter agent service.Cannot Upload agent".I've attached the image of the error with this discussion.
Does anyone know what this error means and how to resolve it??

Which version of ESXi host and vCenter are you running?

Check this KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=103190...

In case if yo are running vDS then check this http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=102949...

Did you place it into maintenance mode first, then remove it from the old cluster before adding it to the new cluster?
