Sometimes VMs in ESX get into a bad way and just won’t shut down. When you absolutely, positively have to kill every reference to a VM, nothing does the job quiet like your Fathers light sabre the vmsupport command.
vm-support -x
Will give you a list of all of the running VMs and their VMIDs.
vm-support -X VMID
Will kill that VM like Qui-Gon Jinn.
