Unanswered the host does not have access to sufficient storage

    Running SCVMM 2012 final. Its all patched up. When trying to migrate a virtual machine we get the following.

    "the host does not have access to sufficient storage of the requested classification for one or more virtual disks associated with the virtual machine <VM NAME>"

    "Configuration issues related to the virtual machine <VM NAME> prevent deployment and must be resolved before deployment can continue"

    The host has plenty of available RAM and over a terabyte of disk space. I have searched for a solution and have come up empty. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Did you share an ISO image in the virtual machine settings ?

    No ISOs are mounted.

    Where are you migrating this VM from and to? If this VM should be highly available, make sure you have marked the check box on the hardware profile, or else VMM will try to place it on DAS.

    From one Host to another. No HA is needed.

    HI,

    For the source VM , please Check the size of VHD files , also check on which storage each file is stored (what is the classification of each storage location)

    on the destination host: check that you have the same correspond storage space per classification as of the source VM

    example : Source VM have two VHDs

    VHD1 on local storage (50GB) -> classification Silver

    VHD2 on SAN storage (50GB) -> classification GOLD

    Destination:

    storage classification Silver : free space 100 GB

    storage classification GOLD : free space 48 GB      <-------------- This is the problem
