Hello,
When migrating a VM an error occurred:
A general system error occurred: Failed to Open the swap file
Have you any idea where it might come and how to resolve it.
Thank you all.
Hi,
Check this KB out, it might be useful. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004906
How are you perform the migration?
Andre
On your vCenter, ensure that yuou have configured a scratchfile location correctly
the setting you are looking for is : ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchlocation (right click the esx host - the setting is under advanced settings I think)
Also, have a look at http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1004082&sl... for swap file best parctices (This is VM swap files)
Good luck
Check the swap file location whether its located in virtul machine folder or host itself or somewhere?
Swap file should be reachable by both source and destination ESX servers.
Thanks,
Ganesh
The swap file is stored with the VM which is recommended in acluster for better performance Vmotion.
@ Andre : Moving the VM to an ESX to another (vmotion) without moving the datastore
Note: Don't select delete files from disk
Thanks,
Ganesh
