A required Guest OS is down and no GUI is present to restart the VMware Guest. A Command Line Option is required.
To start a vmware guest OS, run these commands from the VMWare Server.
vmware-cmd <path-to-.vmx file> start
If the command is successful you should receive the following response
start() = 1
If the Guest OS does not start you may need to check the state with the following command:
vmware-cmd <path-to-.vmx file> getstate
