But I figure if it helped me, maybe it can help someone else. I had tried to force a reboot of a VM through vSphere client. It hung at 95% forever. As I was researching, I came across your blog. As I was about to try your steps I came across 2 processes on my local machine that were VMware related. I had closed vSphere client. I killed those 2 processes and the VM finished it’s shutdown and rebooted. I'm guessing the processes on my machine were hanging on to some files from the VM. Could be coincidence or not, just thought I’d reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209371.post-50442553894936643172011-04-05T11:29:17.746-05:002011-04-05T11:29:17.746-05:00Had the same problem.

VMware support said we needed to reboot the ESXi host to fix the problem.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210170758619950389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209371.post-1824323598524218872010-08-21T21:42:43.676-05:002010-08-21T21:42:43.676-05:00I also got to demonstrate today that it's good...I also got to demonstrate today that it's good for vMotion. I had a VM stuck at 78% migrate for some time. After letting it sit to make sure it wasn't going anywhere on its own, I did the kill -9 on it. Turns out, it was actually done moving, and the stuck part was the release from the old host. It instantly went done, and was still running on the new host.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938554978113604206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13209371.post-52990819320310591282010-08-21T20:59:55.035-05:002010-08-21T20:59:55.035-05:00Indeed - just do step 4 - especially if you alread...Indeed - just do step 4 - especially if you already know the other stuff.
