Virtualize.dk

I am gonna upgrade out ESX4-hosts to u1 and i came across this problem. One of the VMs would not vmotion to another host. I am getting this error

“Migrate virtual machine ubuntu02.domain.tld The operation is not allowed in the current state.”

The thing that was wierd was, that it was only that VM that had the problem. The CPU and memory-usage counter showed 0. So i tried reinstalling vmware tools and reboot. Nothing helped.

I found the solution here

service mgmt-vmware restart

and

service vmware-vpxa restart

solved the problem
