“Currently connected network interface ‘Network adapter 1’ uses network VMnetwork2, which is not accessible.”

I am new in VMware.  I have 2 Esxi Server added in HA cluster. There are two virtual machines one is XPVM another is XPVM2 both are in Esxi1. High availability is working fine when both XPVMs are connected to vSwitch0. If both XPVMs are connected to vSwitch 0 then HA is working fine means which I shut down the ESXi1 then both XPVMs are smoothly moving to Esxi2 Server. But problem is when I connect any VM to another vSwitch named vSwitch1 which I added latter to Esxi1 then the particular VM which is connected to vSwicth1 is neither move to Esxi2 or can I move it through vmotion. Here XPVM2 is connected to vSwitch1. Esxi2 Server also having same networking configuration. I am getting an error while trying to change host of XPVM2 i.e. “Currently connected network interface ‘Network adapter 1’ uses network VMnetwork2, which is not accessible.” I am unable to understand the problem neither able to resolve the issue. Please guide. Whereas all Ips are pinging from both VM including Kernel Ips are also pinging.

The XPVM works because it is connected to "VM Network" port group which is present on ESXi1 and ESXi2, and XPVM2 fails because it is connected to "VM Network2" port group which is present only on ESXi1 and NOT on ESXi2. So, create the port group "VM Network2" on host ESXi2 and it should fix your problem.

Thank you very much. I had sleep lees night before your reply. I create a same port group in both Esxi Servers named "VM Network5" as VM Network2 was creating confusion in my mind. After following your instruction the problem resolved smoothly. Thank you very much Sir again. I hope you will guide me again when needed.
