Source Workload Disappears from Migrate UI After Preparing Target for Synchronization

This document (7012074) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

PlateSpin Migrate
 
Target container is ESX, either discovered directly or as part of a DRS cluster

Situation

After successfully migrating a workload to a VM and preparing the target for synchronization, the source workload is no longer visible in the Migrate client.

Resolution

In order to resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
 
1. Undiscover the target VM
 
2. For each instance of the VM folder appearing in a datastore (housing either the VMX file or VMDK files) rename the folder to something that is not the hostname of any discovered source workloads
 
3. Refresh the details of the container
 
The source workload should be visible now.  Once the target is prepared again, the source can be dragged and dropped onto the target to create a Server Sync migration.
