I have a server 2003 vm which was powered off and the OS seems to be down , but in the tasks menu it still shows 97% powering off and is frozen at this stage..How could i power off this vm and reboot it ?? The host is running esxi 4.1 ..
The vm is not running on any snapshots.
Login via SSH at the ESXi host and find out the process ID.
Run a...
ps -c | grep -i "machine name"
...wish should give you the ID.
Afterwards use the kill command to get this VM powered off.
Regards,
Mario
