Well yesterday I had to restart a Virtual Machine so I shut down the VM as normal from windows after serveral minutes the box hadn't powered down.
I right clicked on it in the VIC - Virtual Infrastructure Client and clicked reset but I got an error saying the box was powered off.
I started googling and found some very complex solutions so I tried 2 of them but my Shell couldnt find the "kill" command.
So I resorted to Tweeting my problem and a contact I have in Novosco got me in touch with a Gentleman who helped me sort the problem.
What I should have done was connect directly to the host using my VIC. In there I noticed that the virtual machine was infact powered off.
So the problem was with the VIC client. I connected to the Shell again and ran
service mgmt-vmware restart
It shows up 4 { OK } automatically disconnects any VIC clients you open it again and the problem is solved.
Thank you Novosco for your help it was much appreciated.
