Some specific issue has occurred which has prevented the virtual machine from resuming, and so it has been powered off.
Potential causes of these issues include, but are not limited to:
- Could not lock the files of the VM. (Another process has the lock.)
- Check the KB article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/10051
- Could not open the files of the VM. (Storage inaccessible)
- Check the following Kb:https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2004684
- Could not read files of the VM. (File corruption.)
Please open a case with VMware Support to investigate the specific issue, being sure to include the Timestamp of the issue, the vmware.log files for the affected virtual machine (included with the the ESXi log bundle for the Host where the VM is currently registered) and the ESXi log bundle for the Host where the issue occurred. (In the case of a vMotion you must also provide the ESXi log bundles of both Source and Destination Hosts.)
