-  * VM machine #1 failed to boot into kernel-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64 
-    * Yum had hung up when updating open-vm-tools and I did a ''CTRL-C'' (bad move) 
-    * Booting machine into previous kernel had no network connection; rebooting once again got network up 
-    * RPM database completely hosed; had to erase this VM and restore from backup 
-  * VM machine #2 was a clone of a test CentOS 7 VM (v7.2.1511) and it got stuck on trying to update ''open-vm-tools-10.0.5-2.el7.x86_64'' 
-    * cancelled by CTRL-C 
-    * had to install "yum-utils" and run ''yum-complete-transaction'' 
-    * yum then failed because transaction size changed 
-    * ran ''package-cleanup --dupes'' 
-    * ran ''package-cleanup --problems'' 
-    * ran ''package-cleanup --cleandupes''

-    * ''yum update --exclude=open-vm-tools*'' 
-    * machine updated and booted into new kernel normally 
-    * ran ''yum -y update'' 
-      * stalled again 
-      * ''top -d 2'' showed high CPU usage for process "vmware-checkvm" 
-      * **did ''ps -ef |grep vmware''** 
-      * **saw this process: ''root      3186  3182 97 17:08 pts/0    00:07:55 /usr/bin/vmware-checkvm''** 
-      * **issued ''kill 3186'' and the yum update completed**
