Resolution
The issue has been fully resolved starting from Delphix version 6.0.6.0.
The workaround is to power off the VM when the previous mentioned event is noticed (The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.) or perform a Shutdown Guest from VMware when ready to power off the Delphix engine.
