ResetVm​Reset​Vm

Forcefully reset a virtual machine on an ESXi host by its name.

This task performs a hard reset of a virtual machine. ⚠️ It is not safe for the guest OS: no shutdown is attempted, and all unsaved data may be lost. Use this only when the VM is unresponsive and a graceful reboot (via RebootVm) is not possible.
