Hi,
To begin with I'm observing lately that the last 2 versions of Workstation has a lot of connectivity issue. This specifically occurs snapshots are taken and restored, and/or when VMs are paused and resumed (after some hours) the VMs do not connect and require manually ping each and every interface to resume connectivity. Also I observed this occurs where routing is involved as I did not face any issues when all VMs are on the same network.
I'm migrating from Virtual Switch to Distributed Switch in vCenter, the esxi hosts have dual vmnics and dual vmk adapters.
I have 2 Clusters with following esxi hosts.
Windows Server (DNS) - 192.168.10.2
vCenter - 192.168.10.5
Compute Cluster
* compute1.v.lab - vmk0 (192.168.30.10), vmk1 (192.168.30.11)
* compute2.v.lab - vmk0 (192.168.30.20), vmk1 (192.168.30.21)
Infrastructure Cluster
* infrastructure1.v.lab - vmk0 (192.168.20.10), vmk1 (192.168.20.11)
* infrastructure2.v.lab - vmk0 (192.168.20.20), vmk1 (192.168.20.21)
* infrastructure3.v.lab - vmk0 (192.168.20.30), vmk1 (192.168.20.31)
I'm following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJ3OfXTkLs for migrating via GUI, however, for some reason some esxi hosts migrated successfully while others failed. Both set of esxi hosts have similar configuration, in my situation the compute cluster esxi hosts migrated successfully, while infrastructure cluster esxi hosts failed with the following error.
Both vmk0 and vmk1 can ping vCenter, and vCenter can ping both interfaces of the esxi host as well.
