Cause

This issue occurs because the virtual machine is configured to pass through a host PCI device, but that device does not exist currently. The PCI device might have been removed from the mother board or cannot work.

Resolution

To work around this issue:

1. Open the VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client.
2. Select the ESXi host.
3. Click Configuration > Advanced Settings > Refresh.
4. Check if the device is still available. If not, remove the pass through setting from the virtual machine.
