I am experiencing a strange error when trying to migrate live VMs with vMotion. The normal selections and option boxes presented after clicking "Migrate" work fine, in the Recent Tasks pane the migration will get to 10% then stop with the following error:-

Failed to initialize migration at source. Error 195887200. Necessary module isn't loaded. Failed to start migration: Necessary module isn't loaded.

I have looked at the following VMware KB article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2013128

"#esxcli system module list" does not show a migrate module loaded in either true or false states.

Looking at all the ESXi hosts through vCenter and checking the Configuration tab > Software > Advanced Settings the Migrate.Enabled is set to "1" - This is strange as the KB seems to suggest that if the module is not loaded at ESXi boot then the option should show "0".

However powering down the VMs will allow them to migrate without error, but this defeats the object of vMotion.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?
