Description

sometimes when i want to let cluster in protect and do some fix. so i need to let vms in this host vmotion. but sometimes some vm can not migrate to other host(all host in same cluster). my question is:

  1. what can cut vmotion.
  2. when i face this problem, i let vspc disable, and migrate again will be success? does vspc cut the vmotion? my vspc mode is use vspc.py file.

error is:
The source detected that the destination failed to resume. Remote connection failure Failed to establish transport connection (9): There is no VMware process running for config file /vmfs/volumes/55932a10-f0a9f9e4-fb24-001f6713cb78/1000019885-centos6.364-20160408122156-JC9GPL4X/1000019885-centos6.364-20160408122156-JC9GPL4X.vmx.

Research direction

Start with the reported migration error and the vspc.py entry point. Reproduce the failed vMotion if the environment is available, comparing behavior with vSPC enabled and disabled. Done means identifying whether vSPC affects the failure and documenting the confirmed cause or required diagnostic steps.
