Summary:
I had to script migrate 130+ VM’s off a clariion SAN array because of SP utilization issues to a vMAX array. All but 3 succeeded. 1 of which exhibited the below symptoms. The other two were a MSCS cluster, unrelated to this post.
Symptoms:
- Above message appears when attempting a Storage vMotion on a VM.
- Gets to 5% to 10% before above error appears.
- When VMWare’s KB1010045 does not apply as evidenced in my Summary.
Work Around:
- vMotion VM to another ESX host.
- Attempt Storage vMotion.
- I have no clue why this worked, but whatever. If this helps someone make their day a little easier then I’m happy.

I had similar issue, it was failing with same error when moving from a datastore TestSharepoint to datastore TestSharepointMay2010. I renamed the second datastore to TestMay2010 and it completed.
I was having the exact same problem. Mine would fail at 18%, but all other vm's migrated fine. I moved it to another Host as you suggested and tried again, but it failed at the same spot. After every other possible resolution failed, I decided to move it to yet another host in the cluster and this time I was able to sVmotion it! Thanks!
