Additional Troubleshooting Information
11000
The number of processors requested on the virtual machine %VMName; (%Count;) exceeds the maximum supported by the host virtualization software (%MaxLimit;).
Select a different host or reduce the number of processors on the virtual machine and then try the operation again.
11001
The number of network adapters requested on the virtual machine %VMName; (%Count;) exceeds the maximum supported by the host virtualization software (%MaxLimit;).
Select a different host or reduce the number of network adapters on the virtual machine and then try the operation again.
11002
The memory requested for the virtual machine %VMName; (%MemorySize; MB) is not within the range that the host virtualization software supports.
Select a different host or change the requested memory for the virtual machine to a value within the supported range (%MemorySizeMinLimit; - %MemorySizeMinLimit;), and then try the operation again.
11003
A DVD drive is attached to the SCSI bus on the virtual machine %VMName;. The virtualization software on the host only supports devices attached to the IDE bus.
Select a different host or attach the DVD to the IDE bus and then try the operation again.
11004
The number of devices attached to the SCSI bus on the virtual machine %VMName; exceeds the maximum number supported by the host virtualization software (%MaxLimit;).
Reduce the number of SCSI devices to %MaxLimit; or fewer and then try the operation again.
11005
The number of processors on the virtual machine %VMName; (%Count;) is greater than the number of processors on the target host (%MaxLimit;). The host must have an equal or greater number of processors than the virtual machine.
Select a different host or reduce the number of processors on the virtual machine to %MaxLimit; or fewer. Try the operation again.
11006
The virtual machine %VMName; is configured as highly available but the selected host is not a highly available host.
Select a highly available host for the virtual machine and then try the operation again.
11007
Host cluster %HostClusterName; is overcommitted.
Select a different highly available host and then try the operation again.
11008
This configuration causes the host cluster to become overcommitted.
11009
The number of LUNs requested on the virtual machine %VMName; (%Count;) exceeds the number of LUNs available on the host (%MaxLimit;).

11020
Virtualization platform on host %VMHostName; doesn't allow boot and system volumes to be on a disk attached to SCSI adapter. Disk at the location (%BusType;, %Bus;, %Lun;) must be attached to the IDE bus for the machine to boot up and work properly.
Modify the bus assignments so that boot and system volume disks are located on IDE bus, and then try the operation again.
11021
Virtualization platform on host %VMHostName; doesn't support pass-though disks.
Remove pass-though disk from the VM or try different host
11022
The specified source virtual machine cannot be used to create a new virtual machine because the disk at location (%BusType;, %Bus;, %Lun;) is a pass-through disk and two virtual machines cannot share the same pass-through disk.
Specify a different virtual machine as the source, and then try the operation again.
11023
Host %VMHostName; doesn't have network adapter
Please select a different host and then try the operation again.
11024
The bus location for the disk at (%BusType;, %Bus;, %Lun;) is not valid on host %VMHostName; for one of the following reasons:\n1. The Bus exceeds the maximum number of SCSI adapters(%MaxBusCount;) supported by the virtualization software on host. \n2. The LUN exceeds the maximum number allowed (%MaxLunCount;) by the virtualization software on host.
Ensure that the bus location for the disk is valid, and then try the operation again.
11025
Host %VMHostName; is not available for placement.
11026
Host %VMHostName; is not responding and is not available for placement.
11027
Clustered host %VMHostName; is not available for placement. For the host to be available for placement, the Cluster Service must be running on the host.
11028
Virtualization platform on host %VMHostName; does not support shared DVD ISO images.
Remove the shared ISO image from hardware profile or select a different host.
11029
The disk at the location (%BusType;, %Bus;, %Lun;) will be moved to the IDE bus. The virtualization platform on host %VMHostName; does not allow boot and system volumes to be on a disk attached to SCSI adapter.
11030
Host %VMHostName; is not available for placement because it is in a state that has limited management functionality. To use an ESX Server host for placement, you must configure the security settings of the host to enable full management functionality.
Configure the security settings of host %VMHostName; to enable full management functionality and then try the operation again.
11031
Virtual machine %VMName; cannot be migrated from host %VMHostName; because the host is in a state that has limited management functionality. For hosts in the OK (Limited) state, a virtual machine can only be migrated within the same Virtual Center server.
Configure the security settings of host %VMHostName; to enable full management functionality, or select a target host within the same Virtual Center server, and then try the operation again.
11032
Virtual machine %VMName; cannot be placed on Hyper-V host %VMHostName; because it has checkpoints in a format incompatible with Hyper-V virtualization platform.
11033
The network adapter associated with network location %NetworkLocation; and tag %NetworkTag; on host %VMHostName; is not connected.
Ensure that the network adapter is enabled and connected, and then try the operation again.
11034
The network adapter associated with network location %NetworkLocation; on host %VMHostName; is not connected.
11035
There is no suitable network location for virtual machine %VMName; on host %VMHostName;. Ensure that at least one network adapter is enabled and connected.
Ensure that at least one network adapter is enabled and connected, and then try the operation again.
11036
Virtual machine %VMName; cannot be placed on host %VMHostName; because the host is a node in a host cluster that is managed by Virtual Machine Manager. Virtual Machine Manager does not support performing a physical-to-virtual conversion (P2V) or a virtual-to-virtual conversion (V2V) to a target host that is in a host cluster.
Try the operation again, and select a host that is not in a host cluster.
11037
There currently are no network adapters with network optimization available on host %VMHostName;.
11038
Host %VMHostName; is in maintenance mode. Hosts in maintenance mode are not available for placement.
11039
VMM cannot determine the processor family for server %VMHostName; or one of its snapshots. Virtual machine %VMName; may not start or operate correctly on server %VMHostName;.
To select the most suitable host for virtual machine %VMName;, use the Migrate or Clone Virtual Machine Wizard. The wizard rates all available hosts based on their suitability for this virtual machine.
11040
VMM cannot determine the processor family for virtual machine %VMName;. The virtual machine may not start or operate correctly on server %VMHostName;.
11047
The virtual machine %VMName; or one of its checkpoints is configured to use Dynamic Memory allocation. However, the target host does not support Dynamic Memory allocation.
