Additional Troubleshooting Information

1201

Virtual machine %VMName; cannot be transferred. To be transferred, a virtual machine must be stopped, shut down, in a saved state or stored in the library. A virtual machine in a failed state cannot be transferred

Stop, shut down, or save the virtual machine. If the virtual machine is in a failed state, use "Repair virtual machine" to repair the virtual machine. Then try the operation again.

1202

You cannot migrate a virtual machine to the location where it currently resides.
