We have setup an ESX Host to test out VMWare View for a couple of users.
One of our users has been experiencing strange errors on their VM. They were losing PCOIP connection and internet explorer was sitting at 100% cpu. WE tried to update from Ie 6 to 8. All worked fine. We completed a restart of the server, all fine. Then I resized the View window and back and was unable to click anything inside the Guest.
So then I opened a console to it (Windows XP by the way). Got an error that it was unable to connect to the MKS.
Tried shutting it down but this was unsuccessful, so in the end had to do a Kill -9.
After this I could not restart the VM because the .vswp file was locked. In the end the only way to get this VM back was to restart the ESX Host. Now this is the 2nd time we've had a locked file on this VM in the past week. Previously when we tried to restart it we had the same issue and had to restart the Host.
Please can someone explain why this VM keeps getting this problem and what can be done to prevent it?
Thanks,
Nick
