We had a power outage and one of the servers running ESXi 5.1.0 went down. When I powered it back up, all the VMs running on that server could be powered up except for one, it's stuck at 95% of Power On virtual machine. I googled for this problem and the recommended solution is to kill that VM's processes, delete the .vswp files, remove the VM from inventory, and add it back again to the inventory. I've tried that several times but it doesn't fix the issue.
In order to reset the host server, I need to do a hard reboot since ESXi doesn't permit a reboot with that VM being stuck powering up at 95%. Each time I reboot the server and startup the VM, I get a new <vmname>_vmdk.REDO_XXXXX and <vmname>vmdk-delta.REDO_XXXXX matched pairing. A new pairing with unique XXXXX identifier gets created on subsequent reboots.
vmware.log for this VM is attached. Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.
