Online Hpvmmigrate target host connectivity issue

[Someshwar Prasad]

I am trying to migrate HPVM online from one VMhost to other VMHOST. Getting network error when doing online, whereas offline migration working fine.
If any folks come across such error please share.

# hpvmmigrate -o -P VMTEST1 -h xxxxx
hpvmmigrate: Connected to target host using 'xxxxx'
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VMTEST1): Remote message: Connectivity test for vswitch vsswitch1 failed.
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VMTEST1): Abort received from target.

Wow so high tech.
You must be using HP-UX 11i v3 Sep 2010.
Which features the new live partition migration.

I sugegst you double check your vswitch configuration and all configuration for your VMHOSTS.

We've yet to test this release. Well, we may not be able to as we are migrating our vPARS and IVMs to Linux Instances swimming on KVM or vMware hypervisors as the HPVMMIGRATE feature has been LATE in coming and Itanium/HP_UX is now a very expensive platform to swim on.

9.2.10 Transient Network Errors Can Cause hpvmmigrate Connectivity Check Failures

A transient network error might cause the hpvmmigrate command's vswitch connectivity check to report a failure. If the connectivity check fails, retry the migration by re-issuing the hpvmmigrate command.

If the hpvmmigrate command's network connectivity check continues to fail, verify the vswitch and network configuration, and test connectivity with the nwmgr command as explained in Section 10.3 of the HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.

If the vswitch connectivity required by the guest on the target VM Host is properly configured and verified, you can use the hpvmmigrate -w option to bypass vswitch connectivity checks.
