vMotion is failing for VMs

[vermaa89]

I am trying to migrate Virtual Machines from  one ESXi to another in same cluster, it's failing  at initial stages. Storage and Networking are shared and other machines in same cluster in different host have been migrated successfully. Could any one suggest?

Are you getting any specific error while migrating?

Is it failing at any specific percentage completion?

Did you check vice-versa migration from different host to non working host?

Check if vMotion kernel port is reachable from both ESXi host.

If vMotion IP is not pingable, check if IP configuration is properly done as per standard.

If IP configuration is done properly, try unchecking and recheck vMotion kernel port from both host, it should work.

Also verify that vMotion is not working on both dVS and Standard with different IP configuration.
