[ INTERVIEW QUESTION ] Troubleshooting vMotion failures.

Impressive Answers! How do you troubleshoot vMotion failures for VMs? How many times you see these messages at your vCenter Server? vMotion failing at 14% – 10% – 82% – 90 to 95% Interviewer wants to understand your skills for common issues in VMware with Virtual Machines. You can response, based on my experience a possible cause of these errors could be.

14% ESXi hosts were not able to connect over the vMotion network.
10% Failed to look up vMotion destination resource pool object.
82% Source detected that destination failed to resume.
90 to 95% A general system error occurred: failed to resume on destination.

The Interviewers will be impressed if you also mention a few troubleshooting settings to be verified for any V-Motion failures:

-Ensure that vMotion is enabled on all ESX/ESXi hosts.
-Verify that VMkernel network connectivity exists using vmkping.
-Verify that the VM is not configured to use devices not valid on the target host.
-Verify that Name Resolution is valid on the host
-Verify that there are no issues with the shared storage.
