ESX 3.5: Manual migration timed out, after 10%

Hello

Have 3 ESX 3.5.0, 176894 servers (Dell 2950) in cluster. HA and DRS is enabled. Have updated the ESX servers and done a Reconfigure for HA. But when doing a manual migration of machines, the operation times out at 10%. All validations succeeded.

If I shut down the guest, the migration is OK.

The migration is beeing done from VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0, 119826.Running VMware Virtual Center 2.5.0, 147633

Attached is summary page from Infrastructure Client

Sounds like a vmkernel problem, have you verified VMotion network connectivity? The validation check doesnt actually verify vmotion connectivity between the two hosts. Have you tried to use vmkping to verify vmotion conectivity between hosts from the SC?]

Do you have proper name resolution configured (either by DNS/hosts)?

You can try this tips: vmotion fails at 10%

Case closed. After using VMKping I discovered that one of my ESX 3.5 servers had wrong config in the VMkernel Config. Now migration is working well. Thank you everyone for help!
