Hello,
As part of upgrading and moving (using vmotion) from the old 2.5.3 server to one server already upgraded we got the following message:
"A general system error occured: The upgrade has failed. Please power-off the virtual machine and complete the migration"
We guess the reason for this might be that we did "mgmt-vmware restart" while on the receiving machine while the vmotion (dmotion) was running?
However: We would like some advice how to proceed...
The virtual machine is still running.
Dmotion-scsi0: files exist on the vmfs3 filesystems. The original files are untouched on the vmfs2 filesystem.
We guess this means the esx3-server reads from the original files and writes a redo-log in the dmotion-scsi0:* files?
How should we proceed? Shut down the virtual server as soon as possible and then do what?
Please help.
