Re: ESXi 6.0U1 - VM hung during startup

How about this one:  vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

Take the Vmid and run: vim-cmd vmsvc/power.off [Vmid]

[root@esxi2:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

Vmid         Name                                  File                                  Guest OS          Version   Annotation

1      dc1.jb-lab.local   [datastore1 (1)] dc1.jb-lab.local/dc1.jb-lab.local.vmx   windows8Server64Guest   vmx-08

[root@esxi2:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/power.off 1

Powering off VM:

[root@esxi2:~]

If that doesn't work, I would try running: services.sh restart

and then re-run the vim-cmd command first and then the kill -9 one after that
