I don't know if it's feature or a bug, but it's extremely annoying...
Namely, after one unclean power down of the whole ESXi server one of the virtual machines hasn't come up in a consistent state. Now, that's normal...
What is not normal is the error message in the form of question which tells me that the machine has to be powered up. After selecting Ok, and clicking on OK button in VIC this message almost instantly reappears and I can't do anything with the virtual machine. The only thing on my mind is to restart the whole ESXi. Is this "normal" or am I missing something?
Here is the output of the vmware-cmd "answer" command:
Enter password:
Question (id = 27) : msg.hbacommon.corruptredo:The RedoLog of MailBackup-000001.vmdk has been detected to be corrupt. The
virtual machine needs to be powered on. If the problem
still persists, you need to discard the redolog
0) Ok
Select choice. Press enter for default <1> :
selected 1: Invalid choice
As a side note, why is 1 default when there is no such choice?
