[zare_N0222]

Hi ,

I have several host in cluster a vMotion work . but now I need to remove some VM on another host and migrate option is grayed out , option remove from disk and remove from inventory are also grayed out.

Vmotion work because I have migrated some VM already to other hosts. there are no running task , snapshots are removed .

Is anyone have an idea what can be a problem?

Can you try to delete accessing directly your ESX Host VMware?

what to delete ?

Please check this KB VMware Knowledge Base

This could be due to the disabled methods not properly removed from vcenter database.

Note : Please ensure to have backups of your vcenter before modifying anything from database

Thanks,

ok, but vm is up end running . I didn't try to power off and then do migration.

Kb still applies.. Please try to check in the database for the VM in vpx_disabled_methods if there is any entry

try to restart the management agents on esxi where that vm resides and than give a try

No delete, you see if the options shown.

[msripada]

Delete/remove options are grayed out when a VM is powered on and is expected behavior. You cannot remove the vm or delete vm when the respective process is running.

Thanks,
