Description

vmware.pm's power_reset() subroutine does not catch an error that occurs when VMware tools are not running. Error text is:

Error: VMware tools not running, exit status = 231
VMControl error -999: Unknown error: SoapError: ServerFaultCode(0) :
(Operation failed since VMware tools are not running in this virtual machine.)

Subroutine should be extended to check for this and issue a hard reset if the error occurs.
