</span>I suspect "power off" is actually a virtual press of the ACPI power button (reboot likewise), so your VM tries to shut down cleanly. That could take time, and it could hang (I guess). I don't use VMware, but maybe there's a "reset" action that presses the virtual reset button of the virtual hardware... ;-)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There should not be a fence agent that will do soft reboot. The 'reset' action does power off/check status/power on so we are sure that machine was really down (of course unless --method cycle when 'reboot' button is used).</div><div><br></div><div>m,</div></div></div></div>
