Unable to VMotion: the object or item referred to could not be found. vDS dvs port 48 cannot be foun

[mark24]

Hello all,

I've got a 2 host cluster at the moment with ESXi 7.0.2.  

Both are configured with 2 distributed vswitches, and the same vmks', of those 3 are static IP'd including the vMotion VLAN.  

I'm able to move VM's from host A to host B, but not from host B to host A.

Any thoughts or ideas?  Thanks

Have you checked the network settings on both hosts? Subnet mask, gw, etc ?

[mark24]

Yes, both hosts have the same info for subnet mask, gw, and the correct IP's.

However, the vmkernel adapters are marked differently and I'm not sure how this would impact - for example, the original host's mgmt vmk0 is labeled incorrectly but with the correct IP address and on a dvswitch.  The second host has a mgmt vmk0 on a switch - 

I'm not sure how (if any) much impact vmk's would have on this quite honestly.  Otherwise, I may reach out to VMware tech support.

Hi,

Could you please explain yourself better, your last post is not very clear about your network configuration.
