Solution
Re-Add the credentials of the Virtual Machine Servers
a) Run the following on the Target Primary server:
To Display Virtual Machine Credentials:
UNIX: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -dvirtualmachines
Windows:
{install_path}\Volmgr\bin\tpconfig -dvirtualmachines
To Update Virtual Machine Credentials:
UNIX: /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -update -virtual_machine <virtual_machine_name> -vm_user_id <user ID> -vm_type <virtual_machine_type> -requiredport <IP port number> -password <password>
Windows: {install_path}\Volmgr\bin\tpconfig -update -virtual_machine <virtual_machine_name> -vm_user_id <user ID> -vm_type <virtual_machine_type> -requiredport <IP port number> -password <password>

b) This can also be done via WebUI or via Java Console:
Webui: Workloads | VMware | VMware servers | Manage Credentials
Java Console: Media and Device Management | Credentials | Virtual Machine Servers | double click on the Virtual Machine Server name.
