Cross vCenter Workload Migration Utility (7.0u1)- host not found (authoritative)

Hi all,

we’re getting a strange (unhelpful) error while trying to start a migration from two separate vcenters. Source is 6.7u3, target is 7.01c.vcenters are in desperate SSO domains.

we are starting an import from the target vcenter, connect to the source, browse and select the VM then move to the target and immediately get an error:

“A general system error occcured. Host not found (authoritative)”

some articles I’ve found point to DNS put everything seems to work Mgmt ping, vmkping and forward / reverse lookups. 

we’re going to look into DNS a bit deeper today but any pointers greatly appreciated. 

cheers...

Hi,

I also recommend that check your firewall logs to see is there any ports are blocking between Esxi cllusters and vcenters.
