Hi! I cannot migrate a disk from one datastore to another, I just get an error message saying "Failed to start disk migrations". Can someone help me check why it fails? I use the Migrate wizard, choose Details, choose the one disk I want to migrate, choose a datastore with enough space, and the wizard says "Compability checks succeeded"
Here is the error log vmware.log from the VM:
