When you had the Power Outage, did the Host and VM just go OFF in an uncontrolled manner ?<br />
<br />
It's possible the VM has become corrupted and eventually will fail ?

Hi Andrew,<br />
<br />
<br />
yes, that was the case. The host was on UPS but it went out of battery before the power came back on.<br />
Therefore, the host &nbsp;and &nbsp;VM's was cut.<br />
This issue only happened on the machine with server software installed. &nbsp;Windows 7 VM on the same host has no problem to power on.<br />
<br />
Will it be possible related the orphan snapshot?

If you have a snapshot associated with that virtual machine, the chances are even greater that it is corrupted.

Currently, I have removed the snapshot &nbsp;associated with &nbsp;the machine.<br />
It takes a while but successful.<br />
<br />
Both VM are currently on and functioning as usual.<br />
Any recommended course of action?<br />

I'm using esxi free 6.5 to host a vm. The vm was working fine until we had a power outage. Now when I try to power on the vm it stuck at 0% for a long time (more than 10 minutes)<br />
I need to cancel &nbsp;the power on and power on again. &nbsp;it makes the power on process more than 20 minutes . &nbsp;any advice?

ESXi 6.5 power on

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

VMware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
