vmotion network label

[MustafaSadek]

Dears ,

I have test lab ( 2 esxi hosts )

i created  vss switch on both ESXI hosts ,created vmotion portgroup on both hosts with same name (VM Network label : VMotion)

when i i migrate vm from host 1 o host 2 , it works fine and normally

lately when i do change the port group name on one of 2 hosts , i expect that migration won't success cause the difference of portgroup names, but this doesn't happen

and i see that i can do VMotion normally even i changed the vm network label of vmotion on one of 2 hosts . so why this happen ?

The names of the VM port groups must match across hosts, but not the names of the port groups used by the VMkernel interfaces on which you have enabled vMotion.

It's not the name of the VMkernel portgroup, but enabling vMotion in the port groups settings which matters.
