A vSphere administrator wants to migrate a virtual machine with vMotion from one node to another in the same cluster, but when the destination server is specified, an error message is displayed. What might be wrong? (Choose two.)
A.
The destination host does not have access to the shared datastore.
B.
The hosts are licensed for vSphere Essentials Plus.
C.
The cluster is configured for EVC and the hosts are of the same processor family.
D.
The hosts have a dedicated vMotion VMKernel interface configured.
Option D is precisely one of the requirements for vMotion "On each host, configure a VMkernel port group for vMotion" then this couldn't be the cause of error message because is correct. Then for me only options A&E could be the cause of an error message during migration using vMotion
Agreed on A&E.
I don't unterstand the explations for D ... when the linked Docs recommend a dedicated Interface, how could this be a problem? (Of course if the hosts are in separate not routed subnets - but this assumption is bit stretchy).
Of course shared storage (A) is generally not necessary anymore, BUT: if you select to migrate only compute, then it is.
Has to be AE as per https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-C949426E-CF0C-436D-AF8B-A5D845A8FEA1.html
The hosts must be licensed for vMotion.
and
The destination host must have access to the destination storage.
The statement in D. 'The hosts have a dedicated vMotion VMKernel interface configured.' makes no sense as a failure point
Correct answer is AE
- A shared datastore is a must for vMotion, and the source host must be licensed for vMotion as well; otherwise you get the error message:
"VMotion is not licensed on this host. To perform this function without a license, power off the virtual machine."
As shown in the following post:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1030498
Also, the question never specifies the operation as "Storage vMotion", so we can safely assume we are just migrating the compute portion of it. In that case, shared storage IS necessary.
My bet is AE. I see constants and only two variables. 1. Access: The storage is not necessary to be shared, as we see from links in discussion above, but destination and source need access to it. 2. License: Once a year the license, when it expires, can cause feature limitations.

The destination host must have access to the destination storage.

yes, itis D and E
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-3B41119A-1276-404B-8BFB-A32409052449.html#GUID-3B41119A-1276-404B-8BFB-A32409052449

I would go for D+E:
A - shared storage is not necessary: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-9F1D4A3B-3392-46A3-8720-73CBFA000A3C.html
B - Essentials Plus has vMotion (essentials is without)
C- EVC is the same level.
D- vmotion vmkernel https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-3B41119A-1276-404B-8BFB-A32409052449.html#GUID-3B41119A-1276-404B-8BFB-A32409052449
E- Yes you need a licence https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-9F1D4A3B-3392-46A3-8720-73CBFA000A3C.html
no not necessarily, it might have been added to the cluster with trial license or a license that expired later on.
if it is the case the host would still be in the cluster but all its features will be locked, so when trying the migrate VM off it won't succeed because of vMotion featured not licensed.
so I would say the correct answers are A and E
