Cause
Virtual machines can become orphaned if a host failover is unsuccessful, or when the virtual machine is
unregistered directly on the host. If this situation occurs, move the orphaned virtual machine to another host
in the datacenter that has access to the datastore on which the virtual machine files are stored.
Solution
1 In the vSphere Client inventory list, right-click the virtual machine and select Relocate.
A list of available hosts appears.
