VCF 9 Expansion & vMotion vmkernel Limitations

If you are expanding your VMware Cloud Foundation 9 management or workload domain and have more than one vMotion vmkernel not created by the VCF deployment, you will encounter this error. Broadcom Engineering should provide an option for administrators to create additional vmkernels for vMotion to support multiple stream helpers and increase data throughput on the vMotion network.

Resolution
