Lo and behold, it worked!

All you can really do is create VMs and view the consoles, but it works a heck of a lot better than the web interface.

If you’ve got it running on a non-standard port, you can connect to the SSL enabled port via

<ip of machine>:<vmware ssl port>

The log file for the VM simply stated “Timed out waiting for migration start request”

Happily, I found a solution - run the following commands on your ESX hosts:

service mgmt-vmware restart
service vmware-vpxa restart

Thanks to Jonathan Medd for posting this useful tidbit.
