ESXi: on the console/ssh, when a moved VM pauses during power-on: show which VMs have messages waiting, then answer them
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/27
First the script that display messages for all virtual machines, vim-cmd-display-messages-for-all-VMs.sh:
#!/bin/sh vmids=`vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | sed -n -E -e "s/^([[:digit:]]+)\s+((\S.+\S)?)\s+(\[\S+\])\s+(.+\.vmx)\s+(\S+)\s+(vmx-[[:digit:]]+)\s*?((\S.+)?)$/\1/p"` for vmid in ${vmids} ; do powerState=`vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate ${vmid} | sed '1d'` name=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config ${vmid} | sed -n -E -e '/\(vim.vm.ConfigInfo\) \{/,/files = \(vim.vm.FileInfo\) \{/ s/^ +name = "(.*)",.*?/\1/p'` vmPathName=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config ${vmid} | sed -n -E -e '/files = \(vim.vm.FileInfo\) \{/,/tools = \(vim.vm.ToolsConfigInfo\) \{/ s/^ +vmPathName = "(.*)",.*?/\1/p'` echo "Messages for VM with id ${vmid} which has power state ${powerState} (name = ${name}; vmPathName = ${vmPathName})." vim-cmd vmsvc/message ${vmid} done exit 0
It is very similar to vim-cmd-reload-all-VM-vmx-configurations.sh from Source: ESXi: reloading all virtual machines from their (potentially) vmx files.
Messages I know either equal “No message” or are about “This virtual machine may have been moved or copied.“
If there is no available message, then you always get the stock message No message., so this is something you can use as a check in scripts.
The only messages I know of (and the only one I could find when searching for [Wayback] “vim-cmd vmsvc/message” – Google Search) are like these (where # is a number, like 18 , 23, 5910112 or 6233874: they are unique messageId values so you can refer to them when answering the message):
- ESXi 4.x era (from [Wayback] Answering a virtual machine related question from the command line (1026835)):
Virtual machine message #: msg.uuid.altered:This virtual machine may have been moved or copied. To configure certain management and networking features VMware ESX needs to know which. Did you move this virtual machine, or did you copy it? If you don't know, answer "I copied it". 0. Cancel (Cancel) 1. I _moved it (I _moved it) 2. I _copied it (I _copied it) [default] - ESXi 5.x era (from [Wayback] Starting a virtual machine from the ESXi CLI pauses forever | viktorious.nl – Virtualization & Cloud Management):
Virtual machine message #: msg.uuid.altered:This virtual machine may have been moved or copied. To configure certain management and networking features VMware ESX needs to know which. Did you move this virtual machine, or did you copy it? If you don't know, answer "I copied it". 0. Cancel (Cancel) 1. I moved it (I moved it) 2. I copied it (I copied it) [default] - ESXi 5.5 era (from [Wayback] Moving a powered off VM from CLI · RR Labs):
Virtual machine message #: This virtual machine might have been moved or copied. In order to configure certain management and networking features, VMware ESX needs to know if this virtual machine was moved or copied. If you don't know, answer "I Copied It". 0. Cancel (Cancel) 1. button.uuid.movedTheVM (I Moved It) 2. button.uuid.copiedTheVM (I Copied It) [default] - ESXi 6.5 (one of my own machines):
Virtual machine message #: This virtual machine might have been moved or copied. In order to configure certain management and networking features, VMware ESX needs to know if this virtual machine was moved or copied. If you don't know, answer "I Copied It". 0. button.uuid.cancel (Cancel) 1. button.uuid.movedTheVM (I Moved It) 2. button.uuid.copiedTheVM (I Copied It) [default]
You get the pending message for a specific machine 25 using the vim-cmd vmsvc/message 25 like here:
# vim-cmd vmsvc/message 25 Virtual machine message 5970112: This virtual machine might have been moved or copied. In order to configure certain management and networking features, VMware ESX needs to know if this virtual machine was moved or copied. If you don't know, answer "I Copied It". 0. button.uuid.cancel (Cancel) 1. button.uuid.movedTheVM (I Moved It) 2. button.uuid.copiedTheVM (I Copied It) [default]
The “[default]” will automatically be answered on ESXi 6.5 after four (4) minutes. For this, I got two (2) identical lines of log in /var/log/hostd.log for this:

A few observations of the log file is at the bottom of this post in a gist [Archive.is].

Back to answering the question
Let’s first repeat the help:
# vim-cmd help vmsvc/message Usage: message vmid [messageId] [messageChoice] Replies to the current pending question on the vm.
Given this message for virtual machine having a vmid of 25 awaiting an answer to messageId number 6233874:
# vim-cmd vmsvc/message 25 Virtual machine message 6233874: This virtual machine might have been moved or copied. In order to configure certain management and networking features, VMware ESX needs to know if this virtual machine was moved or copied. If you don't know, answer "I Copied It". 0. button.uuid.cancel (Cancel) 1. button.uuid.movedTheVM (I Moved It) 2. button.uuid.copiedTheVM (I Copied It) [default]
You can answer the question in a separate console/ssh session with either of these:
- Cancel:
vim-cmd vmsvc/message 25 6233874 0where 25 is thevmidof the virtual machine and6233874is themessageIdof the message.- The Virtual Machine will not power on and the
power.oncommand fails:
# vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 25 Powering on VM: Power on fail
- The Virtual Machine will not power on and the
- The virtual machine was moved
vim-cmd vmsvc/message 25 6233874 1where 25 is thevmidof the virtual machine and6233874is themessageIdof the message.- The Virtual Machine will power on and the power.on command succeeds:
# vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 25 Powering on VM: - The
.vmxfile of the virtual machine will change these fields:uuid.locationcleanShutdown(for running virtual machines, this always has value"FALSE"; for cleanly shutdown machines the value will be"TRUE")sched.swap.derivedNamewith a new value for the.vswpfile.softPowerOff(for running virtual machines, this always has the value"FALSE"; for cleanly shutdown machines the value will be"TRUE")
- The Virtual Machine will power on and the power.on command succeeds:
- 2, or wait for more than four (4) minutes:
- The Virtual Machine will power on, and the power.on command succeeds::
# vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on 25 Powering on VM: - The
.vmxfile of the virtual machine will change these fields (you can see this below the signature or in this gist [Archive.is]):uuid.locationuuid.bios(which for Windows system will often require a new license key)ethernet0.generatedAddresscleanShutdown(for running virtual machines, this always has value"FALSE"; for cleanly shutdown machines the value will be"TRUE")sched.swap.derivedNamewith a new value for the.vswpfile.softPowerOff(for running virtual machines, this always has the value"FALSE"; for cleanly shutdown machines the value will be"TRUE")

Generating the “answer” command
I prefer to answer these questions manually, but use this fragment to generate an answer command that selects the “Moved” answer:
message=`vim-cmd vmsvc/message ${vmid}` echo "message: $message" messageId=`echo "$message" | sed -n -E -e 's/^Virtual machine message (.*):$/\1/p'` movedAnswerId=`echo "$message" | sed -n -E -e 's/^ +([[:digit:]])\. button.uuid.* Moved.*$/\1/p'` if [[ "$movedAnswerId" == 1 ]]; then echo "vim-cmd vmsvc/message $vmid $messageId $movedAnswerId" fi
It is based on these regular expression experiments:
- [Wayback/Archive.is] getting the
messageIdon regex101: build, test, and debug regex - [Wayback/Archive.is] getting the
movedAnswerIdon regex101: build, test, and debug regex
