Error: Unable to perform parallel VM disk processing

[frankU32]

Hello everyone,

I am getting an usual error I haven't seen before, on just one VM(so far)

Processing [servername] Error: Unable to perform parallel VM disk processing

• The source is ESXi5.5

• The target is ESXi6.7

• The VM has 3 disks attached

• the VM is hardware version 8, and I am currently unable to change this

• I am on 9.5u4

• i am using the same proxy at both ends but it has 6 cores and can run 6 concurrent tasks

has anyone come across this before?

To add some more information to this, I have dug it to the hotadd.attacher log file for this job and found errors relating to target permissions

Code: Select all

|An exception was thrown from thread [2944].

Logon specification: [VC/ESX: [SERVERNAME];Port: 443;Login: [Administrator@vsphere.local];VMX Spec: [moref=vm-121];Snapshot mor: [snapshot-126];Transports: [hotadd];Read Only: [false]].

|VDDK error: 13 (You do not have access rights to this file). Value: 0x000000000000000d

Which is really odd as this is the first time we have replicated this VM and the replication process only created these files this morning, and its not the first VM I have replicated between these clusters, and the others worked fine.

I am going to delete the replication job, delete all the files from the target data store and try again.

That doesn't seem to have done anything. I get the same error

Code: Select all

It seems there were some certificate issues between one of my hosts and the storage. Sorted now thanks.

How did you resolve this issue?

According to the case notes, there was a problem with the certificate on one of the ESXi nodes that was addressed after contacting VMware.
