migrate storage fails with 'cannot connect to host'

[thepeoplesvalle]

I'm trying to migrate the storage of a virtual machine to a different datastore. (on the same san)

When I start the job I see the task :

Relocating virtual machine / Status 'In Progress'

After 10 minutes I get 2 popups :

-

---

Error

-

---

Cannot connect to host.

-

---

OK

-

---

I tried to move the storage from a different virtual machine, but I got the same error.

Also tried from a different vmhost (but same cluster) but also the same error.

When trying from a host in a different cluster It works without problems (same san/datastore used in the cluster where I got the errors)

There are no difference in the security profile on the hosts.

Any hints ?

Attached logfile (vpxd-353.log) when I was running the migrate storage.

Error part :

2009-11-03 16:49:07.035 02464 info 'App' (1257263347020035) VMotion started

2009-11-03 16:58:35.903 02464 error 'App' (1257263347020035) VMotion failed: vim.fault.HostConnectFault

When it runs ok :
