OVC vMotion error

mblee — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 08:26:35 GMT

When I do OVC vMotion, the following error message appears.

What is the reason?

- Change compute resource only

Virtual machine is configured to use a device that prevents the operation: Device 'PCI device 0' has a backing type that is not supported. "This is a general limitation of the virtual machine's compatibility with the ESXi version of the selected host." svt01.nnsp.local

Hello, OVC can't and must not be migrated. vMotion wiil not work as the ovc is on local datastore that belong to the ESXi host. See the OVC like your physical storage controller, you can't move it but you are able to shutdown via the svt plugin it if require. Regards, Jean-Philippe
