Hi Experts
I have a script to simple vMotion a VM between vDS portgroup and NSX-T Opaque Network
See script below
The error happen during the Move-VM operation
Move-VM -vm $VM -Destination $destination -NetworkAdapter $networkAdapter -Network $destinationNSXPortGroup
I have filtered the Opaque network so itchnically it should do the job but it dosent can i get some help please
PS C:\> $destinationNSXPortGroup
Name NetworkType
---- -----------
Sample-VLAN-600-XX-VMN Opaque
Error
PS C:\> Move-VM -vm $VM -Destination $destination -NetworkAdapter $networkAdapter -Network $destinationNSXPortGroup
Move-VM : 16-9-2021 12:43:22 Move-VM The operation for the entity "NSXmigtst001" fai

vMotion based on the source network type.". See KB article 56991 for more details.
