Hi,
Have a couple of ESXi 6.0 in a cluster and vCenter 6.0 (Yes old so will update soon to latest supported) with only local datastores
I need to evacuate one host for Maintenance and would like the workload to be migrated to other running host without downtime.
However I see the option is greyed out, the Hosts are licensed with a 6.0 Enterprise license, any reason why or what is the criteria this is failing?
Are you running vCenter on Windows or are you running the vCenter Server Appliance? (I would guess you'd be running the Windows version of vCenter.

If running Windows, then to restart the Web (Flash) client service...
vCenter 6.0.x |

Here's the full list of requirements: Requirements and Limitations for vMotion Without Shared Storage
Shared nothing vSphere vMotion was introduced in vSphere 5.1. With this release, the Web (Flash) client became the primary client and all, well pretty much all new functionality was then only exposed to the Web Client.
You will be able to migrate both the host and the datastore if you use the Web Client.
Please find answers in bold, it seems more of a feature issue as it is greyed out straight away
ok but strange how the option would be there if it is not functional!
Unfortunately the web client version is not loading after I enter credentials, windows vCenter might need a restart or maybe there is a way to restart just the web client...

KB article helped as restarted web client service via CMD and it eventually loaded via IE (and no shared storage migration worked)
Thanks
