Hi all,
I went to do switch and cabinet cleanup yesterday and the onsite person
"swears" everything was shut down properly before I arrived, however, after
getting everything cleaned-up and powered back the on WMware (free version,
ESXi maybe?) wouldn't start the second guest (a 2003 dc)
The other guest 2008TS started fine,
here is the error the vsphere shows;
Error message on VMGuest on ip.add.ress in ha-datacenter
