I'm trying to move a virtual machine from ESXi 5.1 to a ESXi 4 using the "Migrate" command in VCenter. It copies the virtual disks completely, but fails as soon as it's complete with the following error message:
Relocate virtual machine
The operation is not supported on the object.

However, it works and boots fine if I use the 'Clone' command.
The configuration between the cloned machine and original is nearly identical. I've attached both .vmx files (Original.vmx and Cloned.vmx) for the purpose of getting help. I've already tried experimenting with removing the 'svga.vramSize' entry with no change in results. The original virtual machine was converted from a Workstation 7.0 guest.
