Replying to [comment:4 fhgwright]:
> I sometimes see that problem here (VMware Fusion 8.5.10, OSX 10.9.5, Mac
Pro 5,1), particularly with 10.13. Once it's been frozen long enough that
I'm convinced that it's really stuck and not just slow, I do a restart
from the VMware menu, and it usually comes right up. It seems to be less
prone to happening if I avoid booting multiple VMs simultaneously (i.e.,
stagger the startups across the VMs).
This does not seem to be what's happening here. We've never had any
intermittent problems booting this or the other VMs when the disk was
working. And now, following the restoration from backup, it is also not
intermittently failing to boot; it is always failing to boot. We use
VMware ESXi and it does stagger VM startups, but that's also not
applicable here as the problem happens even when booting only this single
VM.
> BTW, one should never rely on SSDs for primary storage.
I'd like to keep this ticket specific to any issues related to getting the
10.13 worker back online. Your observation is a more general critique of
our infrastructure and I'd like to move that to its own ticket; I filed
#60178.
