Tdubb,

Are the both the host satisfy the v-motion capability

1. Same SSO domain and linked vCenter.

2. Port group of vm are same in the both the vCenter

3. Try to migrate the test vm from one DC to another DC and share the error message where it is failing.

Refer KB the below requirement are satisfy

2. Port group of vm are same in the both the vCenter. No going to different vlan and IP address on vm will need to be changed after the move

I am gonna blatantly post the network checker points:

MAC address compatibility on the destination host

vMotion from a distributed switch to a standard switch

vMotion between distributed switches of different versions

vMotion to an internal network, for example, a network without a physical NIC

vMotion to a distributed switch that is not working properly

vCenter Server does not perform checks for and notify you about the following problems:

If the source and destination distributed switches are not in the same broadcast domain, virtual machines lose network connectivity after migration.

If the source and destination distributed switches do not have the same services configured, virtual machines might lose network connectivity after migration.

However, I do have a tendency to ask you to check on the licensing and the nics in member of the d/vswitch
