V to V error "unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine"

Hello All

so I am trying to do a V to V migration of a RHEL 5 VM from a ESX4.0 to 6.5 server.

I have done this about 12 times so far and even migrated the (A) version of this VM previously without any issues.

just to be clear we have redundant VM's there is an A server and a B server I successfully migrated the A server a few weeks ago that was running on a different ESX server.

These are the errors i'm getting;

"unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine"

and when I clicked on the (view source details) at the bottom right corner of the converter tool it displayed:

"A general system error occurred: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"\

I'm running version 6.1.1 of the conversion tool

and I was able to V to V another VM from that same ESX server earlier.

any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Paul.
