Virtualization

Configuration mismatch: The virtual machine cannot be restored because the snapshot was taken with VHV enabled.

Upon migrating a VM from one ESXi host to another ESXi host, I received the following message.

Configuration mismatch: The virtual machine cannot be restored because the snapshot was taken with VHV enabled. To restore, set vhv.enable to true

Check and confirm on both hosts that /etc/vmware/config has vhv.enabled = "TRUE" in the configuration.

This modification on the mismatched host requires a reboot.
