Without any details (which you have not posted), there is no way to give you helpful advice. Please post what's going on in your environment in detail.
I am getting only this message on system, if there is another supporting message i should have tried to solve..
root@geevm01:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/power.shutdown 42
(vim.fault.TaskInProgress) {
faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
faultMessage = <unset>,
task = 'vim.Task:haTask-42-vim.VirtualMachine.createScreenshot-205968370'
msg = "Received SOAP response fault from [<cs p:03ce4848, TCP:localhost:80>]: shutdownGuest
Another task is already in progress."
}
I am getting only this message on system
What does this mean?
I said i am getting only ""Another task is already in progress !"
only this message
Check the ESXi host. Is there a task in progress from the tasks list? The host seems to think so.
i have cheked all the way
And have you seen this article?
i have gone through all these
Collecting information about tasks in VMware ESXi_ESX (1013003).
Powering on a virtual machine from the command line when the host cannot be managed using vSphere Client (1038043)
Unable to power off the virtual machine in an ESXi host (1014165)
Is this error coming on vCenter , then stop all services and start gain check .
in case it is from esxi , you may check the running all process and find the process related the VM and kill that .
Just had the same issue on 6.7 U2
Issue was a failed instance of a vmware tool upgrade. Unmounting vmware tools installer resolved my issue.
Right-click on VM
Guest OS > Unmount Vmware tools installer

Saved me some time. Thanks for posting Tom!
This was the case for me!
Except Install VMware tools option everything else is greyed out. VM is running on 6.7 environment.
