Vcenter 6
Issue was present on both esxi 5.5 and esxi 6.0
We have come across an interesting issue when attempting to vmotion virtual machines between hosts. We have quite a few port groups each with its own vlan. When we select a virtual server to vmotion, the destination network does not always populate automatically. It is directly related to the vlan (distributed port group) that the virtual server is a member of. All the settings for the port groups are the same as far as I can tell .I even checked the DistributedPortgroup table in the database and compared each entry. I have created a ticket with vmware support but as of yet no solution has been found. Any suggestions?
Example:
Vlan 202, will automatically populate the destination network for any virtual server being vmotioned.
Vlan 204, will not automatically populate the destination network.
