Orphaned VM State  :-  



What is an Orphaned VM, let’s find the reason of orphan virtual machines.
In VirtualCenter under very rare circumstances, you may find that you have a virtual machine that has an orphan designation. An orphan virtual machine is one that VirtualCenter discovered previously, but currently is not able to identify the associated host. 


Launch Virtual Center or Virtual Client
Right click on the orphaned virtual machine
Select ‘Remove from Inventory’
Now go the summary page of the ESX host and select correct datastore 
Browse the datastore form the .vmx file of the VM
Now locate the VMX file.
Right click on the .vmx file of the VM and choose ‘Add to Inventory’
Go through the wizard and your Virtual Machine should appear online again.
