Hello,
I'm going through the VMWare documentation to do the live vmotion/upgrade from ESX 2.5.4 to ESX 3.0.2 and am running into a bind on a test server.
I just built a Windows 2003 Server for a test VM, and am trying to VMotion to the ESX 3.0.2 system. After a short period, I get the famous error "A specified parameter is incorrect".
Of course, it doesn't tell me the parameter. Following this message is a dump from the log file of the system I am VMotioning to.
Any help that can be provided will be much appreciated, I'm trying to upgrade several VM's here in a week and this is just my test box.
