Unable to Migrate Vms (vMotion not working)

[asimpatel]

Hi All,

Unable to perform vMotion, Let me explain about my Infrastructure.  we have 3 ESX4.1 Host and NAS/NFS Datastore, while I am trying to Migrate a VM to one host to another but I am getting the below error message,

But when I checked and found that I am able to migrate the VM to ESX2 (ESX3 to ESX2) but unable to migrate the VM to ESX1.

and the Datastore name is different in ESX1, find the below screenshot.

Above screenshot u can see both the server Device or the mount point name is different (NFS folder name is also different) find the same in below screenshot.

above image you can see ESX1 storage folder name is different from ESX3 (Find the below image for ESX3 storage path folder name)

Above picture shows the ESX3 NFS Datastore path or folder name,

I am planning to migrate all the VM from one of the datastore(ESX_ds04 ) and unmounts the datastore and mount it back again,

Could you please guide me IF I am doing wrong or If you have any KB or resolution  for the same.

Its a quite long issue and I have been scratching my head from long time.

Thanks in advance.

The ESX1 has shares with /esx_ds01 and ESX3 has just esx_ds01. Re-add them with / and try.

It says status success. What error did it show on the host?

I am getting this error message,

I wanted to let you know that, Above esx was managed by different host, some days before I added in this Virtual center
