Hi,

You can reboot ESXi host using the following command:

esxcli system shutdown reboot

 

Remember to Enable Maintenance Mode on ESXi, using the following command:

esxcli system maintenanceMode set --enable true

 

To check if MM is enabled, use the following command:

esxcli system maintenanceMode get

 

To Disable Maintenance Mode, use the following command:

esxcli system maintenanceMode set --enable false

post with {esxcli vm process kill} command looking like more VM problem.

If you have issues with stuck VMs follow this article: Powering off an unresponsive virtual machine on an ESXi host (1004340) .

In my ESXI 7.03c exploitation experience I have some issue with stuck VMs after short losing connections with datastores (Network issues), and you must perform hard reboot for host with stuck VMs.

Force host for reboot command : {reboot -n -f}
