More roadblocks with VMWare

Trying to test migration of VM's from one host to the other I get the error;

1. Unable to migrate from to : The VMotion interface is not configured (or is misconfigured) on the source host (IP).

I've been looking around on how to configure VMotion however I haven't seen anything. I'll keep updating this blog as I find the solution.

2. I noticed on the configuration tab VMotion shows - Not Used

First attempt to resolve was following these instructions which worked for a lot of people however the post doesn't explain exactly where to configure the VMKernal network or VMKernal port and i'm not seeing anything that talks about VMotion in these settings

"Have you properly configured the VMKernel network?Is VMotion enabled on the VMKernel port?The option is somewhat buried in the config dialogs. It's in-> Host configuration / Networking-> Properties of the vSwitch that has the VMKernel port attached to it-> Select VMKernel from the port list and click Edit..."

Second attempt and solutions was to found here

It appears I had to configure the VMKernal Network Configuration which I could do by following page 30-33 on this guide. I got the information about this guide as well as further diagnostic tests that can be run to troubleshoot this error from here.

now that I appear to be able to move VM's I want to note I'm getting this warning;
The above warning didn't interfere with migrating VM's to different hosts.

Migration from to : Reverting to snapshot might generate errors (warnings) on the destination host.

PS> I forgot to mention in my previous article that I had to enable Intel VT and No Execute Memory in order to use 64 Bit Operationg System VM's.

on the HP DL380 G5
F10 - Advanced / Processor options / enable both Intel VT and No Execute
