Failed Host with disconnected VM

I have a failed host that has 1 VM that did not vmotion to another host on failure and now shows disconnected but shows still running.  Can't access the VM.  How can it stopped then removed so I can add it back to a different host?

If the host is truly failed, and the VM is not really running, you should be able to go to the datastore and add back into inventory.  You might have to remove the instance that currently shows in inventory first.

Please consider marking as "helpful", if you find this post useful. Thanks!... IT Guy since 12/2000... Virtual since 10/2006... VCAP-DCA #2222

Resolved.  Removed failed host from inventory which removed disconnected VM.  Added VM back.
