<br>
Are you possibly using the free version of ESXi? <br>
On the free version of ESXi, the operation on or off fails.<br>
<br>
The same phenomenon also occurs in connection with virsh.<br>

>>>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>
