What do you mean by migration to a new vCenter?

• Did you take an ESXi host (with VMs) and register it with a new vCenter
• Did you remove the VM from inventory on a vCenter/ESXi cluster and register it with another vCenter/ESXi cluster

Also, what are the IP properties of the VM, which you can obtain by running ipconfig in the VMRC? Did you check the Edit Settings to make sure the network was connected for the VM at its new location?

On second thought, the likely answer for any manual migration is that the original NICs were replaced, therefore the VM has a new MAC address and new IP. Run ipconfig /all on the VM and if it has a DHCP IP address, do the following:

Windows

1. Open an administrator command prompt
2. Run: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
3. Run: devmgmt.msc
4. In Device Manager, select: Show Hidden devices (this has to be done in addition to step 2)
5. Remove the greyed-out NICs (which are no longer present, but still have an IP assigned to them)
6. Assign the previous IP to the VM using normal procedures

Linux

1. Google: "persistent net bindings" for your OS
2. Remove the bindings
3. Re-assign the IP

Thanks.

That's what we think it is.

Some type of network issue.
