This issue is seen in SRM when you are using Array Based Replication. While running Planned Migration, disable the Enable vMotion of eligible VMs option. 

 

Enable vMotion of eligible VMs doesn't work with vSphere Replication OR Array Based Replication, it only works with Stretched Storage or Storage Policy based Protection Group.
