CAUSE

Error code 183 means that VE with the same GUID already exists on the destination node. Such situation could occur if the same VE was restored from backup with different ID or it had been migrated earlier and ID has been changed then.

RESOLUTION

As a workaround the VE can simply be cloned – GUID will be changed in this case – and then migration of the cloned VE will be possible.
