The source and target hosts have the same:

Portability group

Virtualization type (4.x or 3.x, except for 3.0.0 and 3.0.1)

Storage type (Local or SAN)

Virtual network configuration

Best Fit

No Errors

The CPU Frequency on the target host is not greater than or equal to the value you
specified when you created or modified the logical server.

You are attempting to move a logical server from a physical to virtual system or a
virtual to physical system and the source logical server has never been activated on
a target of this platform type.

Acceptable Fit

Classifiable Soft Errors

Unclassifiable Soft Errors

Examples of rejected filter criteria

Logical server already exists on target host

Unsupported virtualization type

Different virtual hardware version

Amount of Memory and/or Number of CPU Cores on the target host is not greater
than or equal to
the value(s) specified when the logical server was created or modified

Target host is not licensed

Failed VM Host

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.
