vCenter
A general system error occurred: The migration has exceeded the maximum switchover time of 8 second(s). ESX has preemptively failed the migration to allow the VM to continue running on the source. To avoid this failure, either increase the maximum allowable switchover time or wait until the VM is performing a less intensive workload.
