Hello,
at my customer, a new server infrastructure (4 ESXi 6.0U2 hosts, vcenter VCSA, shared storage already used with old servers).
The configuration is:
4 1Gbsp NICs used for VMnetworks
2 10Gbps NICs used only for VMotion
2 hosts in Production Site (host1a, host2a) and 2 hosts in the DR Site (host1b, host2b) (about 200mt. between them)
All is working as espected except the vMotion, that:
Is full woking
from host1a to all other hosts
from host2a to host1b and host2b
from host1b to host2a and host2b
from host2b to host2a and host1b
Is NOT working:
from host2a, host1b, host2b to host1a
vmkping is working from and to all hosts.
The error message is the following
****************
Failed waiting for data. Error 195887371. The ESX hosts failed to connect over the VMotion network.
