esx: stopping a vm from the command line using powerop_mode

Login to the Service Console and try the following:


vmware-cmd [vm-cfg-path] stop [powerop_mode]

where [vm-cfg-path] is the location of the vmx file for the VM and [powerop_mode] is either hard, soft or trysoft .

It is tempting to just use hard for the [powerop_mode] when it appears that the VM is really stuck :)
