Hi,
I am running a vsphere 4 updat 1 environment.
Recently, I tried to shutdown a virtual machine (which is a clone machine) but it stuck at 95%.When I opened its console from vcenter server it showed following error
"Unable to connect to the MKS:Error connecting to /vmfs/volumes/....../MachineName.vmx because the vmx is not started.."
I restarted mgmt and vpxa services on ESX server, hosting the VM.After executing the command VM turned off successfully. However, status of VM is shown "invalid" in vCenter. When I try to turn it on , a dialogue box pops up showing
"The operation is not allowed in the current state"
Regards
