Hi Guys

i having some trouble with vmx lock files (.lck) after powering on my virtual machines.

the lock released after unrgister and register the vm and appears again on power-on.

by the way the vm is fully functional even if it has vmx.lck file.

does someone know why is it happanes and how to solve it?

my env:

vcenter6.5u3g

esxi 6.5u3 cisco custom image

thanks in advance

you have nothing to resolve if you have no problems:

The vmx .lck file is created to indicate a lock on the VM by the ESXi host (usually in the form of running worlds/processes in the ESXi vmkernel). This helps identify that the VM “belongs” to a specific ESXi host and is active
