Virtual machine target hosts
Target hosts on which a logical server can be moved are shown in the Target Hosts table. Select
one target host in the Target Hosts table by clicking the radio button to the left of the target host.
Hover your mouse over the error symbols for more information.
•
Target hosts with the best fit are sorted to the top of the Target Hosts table.
•
Target hosts with an acceptable fit are shown with error symbols in the table columns. You
can override the filter criteria and select a target host with error symbols in the Target Hosts
table.
A yellow triangle in the Headroom column denotes an error returning Capacity Advisor data.
•
You cannot select a target host from the Rejected Target Hosts table. The red circle symbol in
the Failed column contains the reason for rejection. Other errors are denoted by error symbols.

Move operation types
Use the Operation drop-down menu in the Target Hosts table to select a move operation type. The
drop-down menu displays the types of moves that are available for the corresponding target host.
(For example, a live move is not an option if VMotion is not running.)
If you do not select an operation, the best match is selected automatically.
