As I posted above, this is not possible via the GUI. The only supported method is via CCLI.  HCX Manager >> CCLI >> Go <IX_Appliance associated with WO> wanopt flow OR wanopt stats.

This means that the HCX Manager where you are seeing the error message is unable to communicate with HCX cloud services. Check proxy and internet connectivity from the manager. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-HCX/4.7/hcx-user-guide/GUID-920242B3-71A3-4B24-9ACF-B20345244AB2.html If that doesn't resolve it, then raise an SR.
I suspect that feature is now deprecated/removed from the product, you are running a version which is out of support.
Have all required connectivity between the various appliances as per https://ports.esp.vmware.com/home/VMware-HCX ? And is vSphere Replication tagged on a vmk interface (as asked above)?
Does HCX have a proxy configured?

I've just deployed the same build in my lab and port 9443 comes up as expected. How exactly are you deploying it? Via the vSphere UI? Have you tried to include search domain/DNS suffix? The behaviour you are seeing is in line with what I have seen in the past when there are errors/mistakes made during the deployment process.
Nameserver information is in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf If it is not correct then there might be an error during the ova deployment process.
Have you tried an alternate browser/incognito mode? Are you putting in https://<HCX IP>:9443 There was a bug to do with NTP/DNS space/comma separation which stopped some services coming up, but that... See more...
Have you tried an alternate browser/incognito mode? Are you putting in https://<HCX IP>:9443 There was a bug to do with NTP/DNS space/comma separation which stopped some services coming up, but that PR was fixed in 4.6 Also ssh in and check the date is correct.
Are you using a complex password? Have you tried with something simpler? Are there any firewalls which may be blocking port 9443 between you and the deployed VM? Are the network/gateway, NTP and DN... See more...

Hi, what version of HCX have you deployed? 
Yes, you would need to disable replication otherwise it will error with a message saying that replication is already present on the VM.
There is no native way to do this in HCX without redeploying the WAN-OPT appliance. Alternatively you could use rate limits on the IX vNIC, or use NIOC if using Bulk Migration (ensuring not to put t... See more...
There is no native way to do this in HCX without redeploying the WAN-OPT appliance. Alternatively you could use rate limits on the IX vNIC, or use NIOC if using Bulk Migration (ensuring not to put the IX and the VM being migrated on the same host. https://chrisdooks.com/2020/11/03/using-powershell-to-limit-and-change-hcx-bulk-migration-speed/
How many Compute Profiles and Service Meshes are in use, and are there any other migrations in progress?

The HCX process will result in a complete read/write of VM data, regardless if it is on the same storage/LUN and it is unable to use the existing data to seed from. Using RAV you are able to select a maintenance window, please check: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-HCX/4.6/hcx-user-guide/GUID-741F47D5-A3C9-4D74-9672-E54D8791D8F0.html It is recommended not to have snapshots of the VM taken during the migration phase as it can interfere with the process.
Hi, apologies but I moved the domain and apparently the redirect is broken.   https://chrisdooks.com/2019/03/09/testing-nsx-network-throughput/
Can you explain a little more please, or if possible post a diagram? 
Hi, how is this related to HCX?
Sorry, I misread the OP. Yes, you can migrate from VMC to on-prem, including extending networks. Be aware, you will face egress charges.
There is no requirement to have NSX at source. For HCX Network Extension you do require a vSphere Distributed Switch.
