When selecting a VM to migrate the option to migrate is greyed out. In fact, Power On, Migrate, Revert to Current Snapshot are greyed out. I would like to migrate this VM to another host and datastore.
ESXi version 5.1.0 build 1021289
VMware vCenter Server, 5.1.0 build 947673
I've migrated 154 VMs and out of the 154 VMs migrated approximately a dozen VMs would not allow for live migrations(migrate... option greyed out). I could not identify any commonality between the dozen VMs that did not allow for live migrations.
I really need to migrate this VM in a live state if at all possible.
When vCenter checks to see if a VM is a valid candidate to migrate, what does it check for because the migrate option is NOT grey for about a second before it becomes greyed out?
