We have a script that initiates a Start-VM after building the VM from template. However the Start-VM task hangs and I can see in console the Power On Virtual Machine task is stuck at 100%. This has happened twice now and we have to wait a long time for the task to time out.
When I look at Events log I can see the following sequence:

It appears to be trying to vMotion the VM and power it on in the same event. This happened on both occasions.
Thanks
