@wyatt-made - The "INVALIDARGUMENT" is the same error that I've got here

@olivierlambert

Unfortunately I've moved VMs around (this is all testing at the moment) however there were other VMs with static=dynamic=2Gb which I could move.

Could you please either explain or point me to the documentation where I can understand how your comment works, please?

@mal

Restarting the toolstack allowed me to move the VM. More work-around than fix, I feel!

@olivierlambert

I have a similar issue with a different VM where it fails with:

Not enough server memory is available to perform this operation.
needed: 2167406592
available: 1543491584

however the host has 9.5Gb free (according to XO). VM has static=dynamic=2Gb

Sorry, but what am I missing this time?

@olivierlambert
Understand and thanks for the explanation.

Also, appreciate the brilliant effort you and the team put in.

@olivierlambert - Thank you for your response

That worked!! Brilliant!

So, with the deprecation of DMC, it appears that it "broke" migration if you don't have dynamic=static

Can I assume that "over commit" of memory will never be a "thing", unlike other hypervisors?

@Danp - Thanks for your response
Dynamic memory is a 1.4Gb.

Receiving host has 14Gb free
Sending host has 732Mb free however if I shut down/migrate other VMs, it makes no difference.

Receiving host: v8.2.1 release/yangtze/master/58
Sending host: v8.2.1 release/yangtze/master/58

It doesn't happen with all VMs. Others (using more memory) are fine

What else would you like to know?

Thanks in advance

I have 2 hosts, each in the own pool.
I have 9 VMs, 7 running.
I can migrate some VMs without a problem, back and forth.
I have (at least) one VM which will migrate when shut down, but not when it is running. (XO(A) reports: Management agent 7.30.0-11)
Through XO(A) I get the dreaded "INTERNAL_ERROR" message which doesn't really help.

vm.migrate

  "targetHost": "<target_host>"
}

Using the CLI I get a slightly more informative message about invalid aguments

Any thoughts please?
