We have vCenter 6.5 in our company. Totally paid one, in case you ask.
Last week, I wanted to add some notes in one VM but every time I pressed "OK", I got the error message in the log saying
The operation is not allowed in the current state
I tried to find what state it was talking about but in vain. What state?
I thought maybe because the VM was still running. But when I tried to add notes in another running VM, that didn't make any error.
I thought maybe because the VMware tools was not up-to-date. But when I tried to add notes in another VM having out-of-date VMware tools, that didn't make any error either!
I was running out of ideas what state it was talking about. But that was a production server so I can't stop it right the way. So I had to wait till 11 pm to shut it down. At that time, I was able to change the note. I restarted the VM and tried to change the notes and still no problem!
Anyone had come across this strange issue before?
That's really annoying and freaking! I was afraid the VM was going to crash!
PS: I noticed something different in this VM compared to the others. The "console" thumbnail is broken (cf image below)
