ANS2462E
Unable to start the vMotion task for virtual machine 'vm_name'.

Explanation

An instant restore of the specified virtual machine was attempted but failed. The client could not start a vMotion task to migrate the virtual machine.

System action

The Instant Restore operation stops.

User response

Examine the client dsmerror.log file to see if a log entry indicates why the vMotion task failed. Additional information about the failure might also be available in the vCenter server, on the Task and Events tab for the ESXi host that you were migrating the VM from. If possible, use the log and event records to determine what caused the vMotion task to fail and fix it. Then, clean up the virtual machine (use the Restore VM command with the -VMRESToretype=VMCLeanup option) and restart the vMotion task. If you cannot restart the task, suspend the virtual machine and use the vSphere web client to start the virtual machine migration from one host to another.
