Cannot resume an imported image

ashinobi

Hi, Everyone.

Hope you can help me with my dilemma. Here is the scenario.

I have a Windows 10 machine that came from Vmware Workstation. Before booting it, I have enabled Windows Update in the ADvance settings in XO. It was able to boot and I was successfully login, it rebooted twice and I was able to login (it just rebooted on its own without me triggering it). On the 3rd reboot it got stuck so I manually click the reboot option in XO for this VMGuest. Instead of rebooting it just stop and the only option in XO for this VMGuest is Resume and Snapshot. So I went into terminal for xcp-ng and try the following:

[22:12 home-hypervisor ~]# xe vm-start uuid=60fe04d2-de81-3e26-ed05-fcdee68c305e
You attempted an operation on a VM that was not in an appropriate power state at the time; for example, you attempted to start a VM that was already running. The parameters returned are the VM's handle, and the expected and actual VM state at the time of the call.

My question is how

Is it still possible to run this image again?
If not how can I remove it?

I think xe vm-reset-powerstate should work to force XAPI to reevaluate the state of the VM.
