Can I do the VMOTION between two VLAN's say ID 101 and ID 102?

Are you talking about the VMotion network or the VM's using different vlan ids?

this is a good troubleshooting guide, if vmotion fails at 10% that is when it first starts to talk on the VMotion network:

If the VMOTION network on two hosts are on diff VLAN's, can I do VMOTION between them? I hope this is quite clear now. I will go through the links which you had posted. Thank you!

If these VLANs have L3 access to each other, then yes.... (verify that the L3 device routing your traffic can do it at Gbit speed)

So that means, these are still in two diff networks and if no proper routing is in place, VMOTION fails right?

Yes... It would fail if no prober routing is in place.

Check vmkernel default gateways (esxcfg-route) and by using vmkping...
