VMware vMotion error at 14% - Scene 2

Issue

While performing vMotion, the operation fails at 14% with the below error :

vMotion migration [-1062731490:1419235061251156] failed to create a connection with remote host : The ESX hosts failed to connect over the VMotion network
Migration [-1062731490:1419235061251156] failed to connect to remote host <Destination vMotion IP> from host : Network unreachable
The vMotion failed because the destination host did not receive data from the source host on the vMotion network. Please check your vMotion network settings and physical network configuration and ensure they are correct.

Resolution

I've already penned a post on VMware vMotion failure at 14%. This blog is an extended version of that post. If none of the steps mentioned in my previous post helped you, then you are in the right page.

Check whether vMotion is selected for multiple vmkernel NICs in ESXi host. !!!!

If yes, make only one NIC available for vMotion.
