 After collecting memory dump
Follow the steps below to restart VMware from the purple screen.
1 Press the Esc key.
2 Type reboot with vmkernel debugger, and press Enter.
When the system restarts, check that the memory dump is collected. The default
location for the memory dump is "/var/core/vmkernel-zdump.X". "X" is any number.
Multiple "/var/core/vmkernel-zdump.X" files may exist. Check
the date for the file using the Is command. If a file has the
time that is the same as the system re-startup, the file is the
dump file output this time.
When starting the virtual machine after the system startup,
proceed as usual. If not restarting the virtual machine, select
the maintenance mode.
