Cannot vMotion a virtual machine from an ESX/ESXi 4.1 host to an ESXi 5.0 host on NFS datastores (2009718)

Cause

This behavior is seen on NFS datastores if a Working Directory is defined or if the Swap file is not located in the home directory. It occurs due to the way in which ESX/ESXi 4.1 handles swap lock files.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in ESX/ESXi 4.1 Update 2.

To download ESX/ESXi 4.1 Update 2, see the VMware Download Center. For more information about patch management, see the ESX 4.1 Patch Management Guide.
