When the host is not in a cluster, you can vMotion the virtual machine to and from the host

When the host is in a cluster, you can vMotion the virtual machine from the host, but cannot vMotion to the host

The cluster is configured to use a shared swap file

Performing a vMotion with a virtual machine among other hosts in the cluster is successful

Resolution

This issue occurs if the NFS permissions on the NFS share for the shared swap file datastore is set to read-only for the host.

To resolve this issue, set the NFS permissions on the NFS share for the shared swap file datastore for the host to read-write.

If the issue continues to exist, see VMotion fails on a NFS datastore (1023230).
