Situation:

  • VMware Workstation 10 on Windows 8.1
  • ESXi 5.1 on HP XW6600
  • Connecting by IPv4 IP address (i.e. no DNS resolution is used)
  • Both connected to the same physical Gigabit router
  • Just succesfully pumped close to 800 gigabytes from ESXi 4.1 machines connected to the same Gigabit router using Veeam FastSCP to this ESXi 5.1 machine
  • VM was created using VMware Workstation 8, but runs fine on this VMware Workstation 10 machine
  • VM was shut down before the transfer
  • I'm transferring using drag/drop
  • I can manage the existing VMs that run on the ESXi 5.1 box from VMware Workstation 10 fine.

After the upload is almost completed, it fails consistently with this error message:

---------------------------
VMware Workstation
---------------------------
Upload failed: Execution aborted.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

During the upload, both the network and disk performance graph is on a consistent level (no big peaks or big lows).

No other big activity on the ESXi 5.1 and VMware Workstation machine, nor on the network.

Where should I start researching after these result no useful information:
