Hi tjurgens
Thanks for the reply - I have no issue creating vMotion on the any vSphere version that is Pre 6.0.
Issue only arises when i need to create and new TCP/IP stack and assign that stack to the vMotion VMK - This is to allow for L3 vMotion
Attached is sample of what i used to create vMotion VMk currently on anything pre vSphere6.0
