Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

When a Bulk migration is attempted on a VM which has Network adapter reservation set, migration validation may pass; however, during the final switchover phase of the migration when attempting to power on the VM at the target site the following error may be experienced leading to migration failure:

 Error: DRS power on failed for Virtual Machine 'vm-####’ due to (vim.fault.InsufficientNetworkCapacity)

Cause

Network I/O Control reservation for affected VM (set with 100 Mbit/s) was keeping the VM from being powered on (from powered off state).

Resolution

Before migrating a VM, power it off, change the Network Adapter Reservation from "100" to "0" (disable network reservation for this VM) and click save. Then perform a Bulk Migration.

Additional Information

-  The below logs indicate the ESXi host does not have sufficient network capacity to satisfy the reservation:
