But it only happen once to my end, therefore, I had not log a case to VMware about this. Anyone have any solution regarding this please share to us about it. according to the knowledge base and google search, the solution above should be worked, unfortunately for my case, it doesn’t work.

Sometimes ps -ef |grep "VM" or ps -aux |grep "VM" don't work for me to locate process. When server (vm) hanged is mission critical server I spend less time migrating VMs to other hosts and rebooting the host with the hanged VM, but It could be great if anybody know a solution to kill entire affected VM process to start it without reboot the server. Excuse my english, I'm spanish. I have the same problem.
