  • 1.  Rebuilt hosts cannot vmotion

    Posted May 16, 2025 09:05 AM

    Hi All,

    Appreciate any ideas you have-

    Rebuilt 2 new hosts, both having same issue - cannot vmotion to or from.

    Vmotion network IPs correct.  No duplicate IP.
    VLANs presented to ESX hosts (7.0, fully patched)
    Can ping to and from vMotion IPs (vmnic1) on the non-routed vMotion VLAN.
    Kernel uplinks tied to adapters

    Rebuilt the vmnic.

    Any other troubleshooting ideas before I blow them away and start from scratch?

    Thank you in advance.

    Some thoughts:

    Verify that vMotion is ticked in the port group's settings

    Ensure that the vMotion VMkernel port groups have the same MTU

    Do you receive an error message, like network cannot be reached, etc.?

    Could you please the error or warning screenshot ....For vmotion failure, there are some conditions as you mentioned... If I can see the warning or error then  I can share my thoughts
