vMotion does not work

Last updated:

VMWARE
Error:

The vMotion failed because the destination host did not receive data from the source host on the vMotion network. Please check your vMotion network settings and physical network configuration and ensure they are correct.

Check ping

vmkping -I vmkX x.x.x.x  
  
#where x.x.x.x is the hostname or IP address of the server that you want to ping and vmkX is the vmkernel interface to ping out of.
