Failed waiting for data. Error 195887124. Out of memory
Workaround:
Configure a larger heap size on a suitable target host. Post change need reboot to take effect.
Following command on the target host to increase the Heap size.
1. Login to ESXi host via SSH (putty)
2. Run the below command to change the Heap Size
#esxcfg-module -s DVFILTER_HEAP_MAX_SIZE=276834000 dvfilter
3. Reboot the host to take effect.
4. Now try to do vMotion once esxi is come up online.
