I have two dl365 that I have setup in a test envrionment.
Both running esx 3.01, attached to a SAN.
I am trying to use the vmotion feature to move a running VM from one server to the other.
I keep getting a message from the host that the VM is migrating from that says it shows about 10% done.
"Migration to host failed with error Time out (0xbad0020)"
I have a virtual swith for the service console, a different one for the VMkernal and one for the Virtual machines.
I have checked the time on both servers they are in sync.
DNS works fine.
I have 1Gig links.
Any ideas on what to try to get this to work?
The VM's move fine if powered off or suspended.
Use vmkping to test the connection of the vmkernel point by pinging the other ESX servers vmotion IP
i had some weeks ago the same problem. As sbeaver says.
you have to be able to vmkping from any IP to any IP within any VI3 hosts!
In my case was the Problem, 2 switch ports was vlan tagged
Thanks,
This worked. I had one port in a default vlan. I was sure I had the switch setup correctly.
Thanks for the quick response.
