A consultant is conducting a vSphere cluster deployment. As a part of operational tests, a vMotion operation is performed on a test VM, but fails with following error message:

The VMotion failed because the ESX hosts were not able to connect over the VMotion network. Please check your VMotion network settings and physical network configuration.

VMotion [184329483:1276605211167987] failed to create connection with remote host <10.10.16.14>: The ESX hosts failed to connect over the VMotion network Migration [184329483:1276605211167987] failed to connect to remote host <10.10.16.14>: Timeout

What issue could prevent the vMotion operation from completing successfully?

A.
The vmknic is configured with a conflicting IP address.
Answers
A.
The vmknic is configured with a conflicting IP address.
B.
NIOC is enabled and vMotion traffic is configured with Share value SO.
Answers
B.
NIOC is enabled and vMotion traffic is configured with Share value SO.
C.
Foundation service prevents connectivity between the source and the destination TCP port 8000.
Answers
C.
Foundation service prevents connectivity between the source and the destination TCP port 8000.
D.
The vSS is configured with Route based on originating virtual port.
Answers
D.
The vSS is configured with Route based on originating virtual port.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The failure of the vMotion operation indicated by the error message could most plausibly be caused by:

A . The vmknic (VMkernel network interface card) configured with a conflicting IP address. This conflict can prevent the ESXi hosts from establishing a connection over the VMotion network, as each host must have a unique IP address on the VMotion network to facilitate proper migration communications. Option B, involving NIOC settings, and option D, involving vSS configuration, could influence performance but are less likely to cause a complete failure to connect. Option C, related to the Foundation service, is not relevant to vMotion networking issues directly.
