dvport/swtch error on vmotion and storage vmotion

Hi, Im getting an error when working with a particular vm.

Error:  Currently connected network interface 'network adapter 1' uses dvPort 'Distributed Virtual Switch(uuid: ....etc....)' which is a conflict port.

When i select the portgroup and go to the ports tab, it is listing the link state as down and doesnt show any information in the Mac or connectee column.

The VM is pingable...I just cant move.   I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and if so, is there a way to resolve it without restarting the VM.

Thanks.
