Neat and clean thanks for the video. Bro cleared lot of information

[@gnancloudgarage]

Glad it helped. Thank you, Siva.

[@fikerzerihun2182]

very helpful training , tried doing a live storage migration in vsphere 8 and came up with an issue like "this action cannot be available for any of the selected items at this time" can you please help on this

[@gnancloudgarage]

It seems you're encountering an issue with live storage migration in vSphere 8. The error message *"This action cannot be available for any of the selected items at this time"* typically indicates that one or more prerequisites for the operation are not met. Here are a few steps you can check to troubleshoot: 1. Check VM Compatibility: - Ensure the VM hardware version is compatible with vSphere 8 and supports live storage migration. 2. Verify Host and Datastore State: - Confirm that the hosts and datastores involved are operational and accessible. - The target datastore should have sufficient free space. 3. Confirm VM Settings: - Ensure that the VM is powered on and does not have any snapshots or active tasks blocking the migration. - Check for active ISO images or devices connected to the VM that might prevent migration.

Thanks for the detailed presentation, can you create a Troubleshooting for Cross vCenter vMotion

[@gnancloudgarage]

Great to hear that you found the presentation detailed! Regarding your request for a troubleshooting guide for Cross vCenter vMotion, we can definitely consider creating one in the future. I Thanks for your suggestion and for watching our video!

[@gnancloudgarage]

Hi, Certainly, I can provide you with some steps to troubleshoot issues with Cross vCenter vMotion: 1. Verify that both source and destination vCenter Servers are reachable from each other. 2. Ensure that the appropriate firewall ports are open between the two vCenter Servers. You can refer to VMware documentation for a list of required ports. 3. Make sure that the source and destination hosts are connected to the same shared storage or have access to the same storage using vSAN. 4. Check the network settings on both vCenter Servers and hosts to ensure that they are configured correctly. 5. Verify that the vSphere licenses on both vCenter Servers are compatible. 6. Check the compatibility of the source and destination hardware and software. You can use the VMware Compatibility Guide to ensure compatibility. 7. If the migration fails, check the vMotion logs on the source and destination hosts for any error messages. You can find the logs in the /var/log/vmware/ directory. 8. If the issue persists, try migrating a small test VM to narrow down the scope of the issue. 9. If you still cannot resolve the issue, reach out to VMware Support for further assistance. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you

Hi Sir. I have one doubt. while configuring vMotion, do we have to configure it on the TCP/IP vMotion Stack or the TCP/IP default stack? which one is to be configured for vMotion? Please answer to this question ?

[@gnancloudgarage]

Hi Sir, When configuring vMotion in VMware, you have the option to use either the TCP/IP default stack or the TCP/IP vMotion stack. Here’s a brief explanation of each option and guidance on which to use: TCP/IP Default Stack: This is the standard networking stack used by the ESXi host for all types of traffic unless specified otherwise. You can configure vMotion on this stack, but it will share the same network resources with other types of traffic, such as management, storage, and virtual machine traffic. TCP/IP vMotion Stack: This is a dedicated networking stack specifically designed for vMotion traffic. Configuring vMotion on this stack allows you to isolate vMotion traffic from other types of traffic, which can improve performance and reduce the risk of network congestion impacting vMotion operations. Which One to Use: TCP/IP vMotion Stack: It is generally recommended to configure vMotion on the TCP/IP vMotion stack. This provides dedicated network resources for vMotion, ensuring better performance and isolation from other network traffic. TCP/IP Default Stack: If you have a smaller environment or specific constraints that make using the default stack necessary, you can configure vMotion on the default stack. However, this approach may not provide the same level of performance and isolation. Steps to Configure vMotion on the TCP/IP vMotion Stack: Go to the vSphere Web Client. Navigate to the host and then to the Networking tab. Create a new VMkernel adapter for vMotion. Select the TCP/IP vMotion stack during the configuration process. By configuring vMotion on the TCP/IP vMotion stack, you can ensure optimal performance and reduce potential conflicts with other network traffic.

Vmotion failed at 10,14,21,30%, what will be the reason?

[@gnancloudgarage]

Hi, As we are aware, VMotion is a feature in VMware that allows the live migration of virtual machines from one physical host to another without any downtime. When VMotion fails at certain percentages, it could be due to various reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps that we can follow: At 10%: • Insufficient network bandwidth: Check the network bandwidth and ensure that it is adequate to support the VMotion process. • Firewall blocking: Ensure that the firewall settings allow VMotion traffic. At 14%: • Network misconfiguration: Check the network settings, such as DNS and gateway configuration, to ensure they are correct. • MTU size: Check the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size of the network interfaces on both hosts. They should be the same. At 21%: • Memory overcommitment: Check the memory usage on both hosts. If there is high memory usage, it could cause VMotion to fail. • Resource contention: Check for any resource contention on either host, such as CPU or storage. At 30%: • Storage latency: Check the storage latency on both hosts. If the latency is high, it could cause VMotion to fail. • Disk space: Ensure that both hosts have sufficient disk space to accommodate the virtual machine being migrated. In general, if VMotion fails, we should check the logs on both hosts to determine the exact cause of the failure. Besides, we can also try migrating a different virtual machine to see if the problem is specific to one virtual machine. Thanks
