In some cases, the running virtual machine is stuck in the system process, which leads to that vcenter and vsclient can't manage the host or the management response is very slow. Finally, they can't manage all the hosts and manage the virtual machines in a unified way, but it is not convenient to restart the ESXi host directly, so they can only end the stuck virtual machine process.

At present, the specific methods are as follows:

Use the troubshooting menu to open the local shell, use the command esxcli vm process list to view all running virtual machines and their worldids, and use esxcli VM process kill-wxxx-t soft/force for stuck virtual machines, where xxxx is the world id number, the soft switch is soft-off, and the force switch is forcibly turned off when soft does not take effect. You can try.
