If the VM shows up in the /proc/vmware/sched/cpu how can you bring it

down after the process has already been killed?

1. cat /proc/vmware/sched/cpu | grep -i merc

1206 1206 V vmm0:Mercuri 15219.652 WAIT NONE 11.394 1.625 SEMA 15207.406 0.012 1.856 9 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 any 0 100 pct 1000 vm.1205 12 9.116

1. vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/47189746-ee558a70-889b-0015173d61fa/Mercurius/Mercurius.vmx getstate

Can you put the output for ps -ef | grep -i merc

[troberts]

You could do a vm-support -x to get the world id (vmid) then you could vm-support -X <vmid> to crash the vm.

[teknogroup]

"ps -aef |grep -i merc" gave nothing because process was killed by hand.

"vm-support -X <vmid> " produced no useful results.

I had to reboot the host
