VMware support is down - anyone had any luck calling in?

Waited 30 minutes, it rang then they hung up on me. I'm in a "sev 1" scenario right now and need help.

It's worth a shot so I'll ask - has anyone got a resolution for how to release a VMFS lock when the mac address of the lock is a machine that is powered off, and the -B option just fails?

Thanks....

VMware ESX Question: LVM lock on the device <myvm> will be forcibly broken. See the vmkfstools or ESX documentation for information on breaking the LVM lock.

Ensure that multiple servers are not accessing this device.

Continue to break lock?
