Hi,

Sounds to me like an privilige issue...

You're question is somewhat vague, can you please explain more / clarify?

Thanks!

what is the error message?

Is the Guest Os responding or in hung state?

can you try the same steps connecting to ESXi 5.5 directly using vsphere client and also from vcenter?

thanks,

MS

Use command line

esxcli vm process list     (See the world id)

esxcli vm process kill --type= [soft,hard,force] --world-id= WorldNumber

Below is the example.

esxcli vm process kill --type= hard --world-id= 1289652
