vSphere 7 U3J - Cross vCenter vMotion fails with "Invalid state" from A to B; B to A is working

Hi,

we have 2 remote vSphere environments which have to be merged into one. (B into A)

Upgraded both sites completely to vSphere 7 U3j.

We've upgraded site B from 6.7 to 7U3j after the poblem occured first.

In this transition process we were able to test-migrate some VMs successfully.

But now that we are completely at 7 U3j, we're having the same issue again.

 

We are using Cross vCenter vMotion with Enterprise Plus licensces.

Everthing is shown fine inside Import VM/Export to foreign vCenter wizzard.

VM-Relocating/Copying is working as expected and seems to show for a moment "success" at 100%, but a moment later it's "Failed" with "A general system error occurded: Invalid state"

Inside datastores (SAS) site A the .vmdk files is present until failed vMotion proccess cleans up everthing again. Just the vm*-files e.g. *.vmx are missing.

If we do the same the other way arround (from A to B)  it's working as expected.

 

Anyone having an idea or experienced the same?

 

Best Holger

I have reported your post to the moderators as it needs moving to the area for vSphere.
