    Good Morning,

    My Virtual Center 2.0.1 console is displaying one of my vm's as orphaned. What does orphaned mean and how can I fix this?

    Thanks!

    I'm not nearly as advanced as I suppose you're assuming I am. All I can say is those looked like commands. Good for me huh? Where to run 'em, or what you're saying to do, I have no clue.

    I have 6 hosts with multiple vm's per host. I'm hoping these commands don't impact any of the other vm's running on the host. Thanks for getting back to be so fast!

    connect with ssh to the host that have the VM and the run the commands, the only impact is that the uptime showed in VirutalCenter is reset.
