I had put it in the VCP forum because I was trying to reach others of a similar skill level. Since I am just getting starting in learning VMware, I thought the question might be of benefit to others learning VMware on the way to getting VCP certified.
When I select the other ESXi host, the compatibility check fails with this error - The operation is not allowed in the current connection state of the host.
I am using two Mac Mini's running VMware Fusion with ESXi running under that. Both Mac Mini's have 16GB of ram and have an identical amount of disk space assigned in Fusion to ESXi. I have another server that is running FreeNAS to serve as my iSCSI host. I can migrate the storage for a vm from the local storage it is using to the iSCSI server with no problem. I can start up the VM with no problem after the migration. I can move it back to the local storage on it's host VM server with no problem and get it to start up.
I dont have any policies or pools in place that I think would explain this.
Dont know what to look at or where to look to explain the problem.
