Did you also install the vmware guest tools after the migration?

We're there any kvm guest tools installed earlier?

You may want to ensure that the right version of the tools are in place and
that stale tools are removed after the migration.

I'd also reboot the VMs once and then verify the guest tools status via
vcentre. You may also want to migrate the VMs between VMWare hosts to
ensure that you don't care any migration issues in the future due to vmdk
disk structure issues, etc. I've no clue if this is still an issue, but I'd
faced issues with linked clones when the original vm was created using dd.
