Were both hosts installed from scratch, or did you clone the ESXi hosts?

I assume that you are aware that cloning ESXi hosts is not supported. You may be able to workaround the current issue with resignaturing one of the datastores (not sure though). However, if this is a production environment I'd recommend you re-install the cloned host.
