Hello,

 

I have vcenter 4.1 with vmware view 4.5. This morning all my VMs were powered off, My pool was disabled and when I reactived it, all the VMs were powered on. I have a problem with one of us, it stays at 95% and I can't do anything.

 

I tried with the command line : vmware-cmd to stop hard but I have this error :

 

[root@esxhp03 ~]# vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/4e2683f2-6914cb07-5f8f-1cc1de09942e/VMARSR-2/VMHRM-2.vmx stop hard

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/bin/vmware-cmd", line 93, in ?

    main()

    result = TaskManager().HandleIfTask(result, async=False)

    raise task.info.error

  dynamicType = <unset>,

  dynamicProperty = (vmodl.DynamicProperty) [],

  msg = 'Another task is already in progress.',

  faultCause = <unset>,

  faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [],

  task = 'vim.Task:haTask-1696-vim.VirtualMachine.powerOn-10026'

 

I tried a vmware-support - X ID but not better.

 

Have you an idea please to help me?

 

Thanks.

It's probably because you have the kvm modules loaded. Check the output of lsmod for 'kvm_intel' or similar. If that is the case, you have to blacklist those modules or update to a version that includes the patch we sent to the KVM people to fix the problem.

Yours,
