TF259035: Team Foundation Server placed the environment in the failed state

Yesterday, we tried to restore a snapshot of a SCVMM Env. But it is failed because the TFS lost connection to SCVMM. And we got the following error message

Environment message: Type=Error; Message=TF259035: Team Foundation Server placed the environment in the failed state. A failed state indicates that one or more virtual machines are unusable. Contact your system administrator, and ask them to bring the affected virtual machines into a usable state;

Additional information: The name of the virtual machine in System Center Virtual Machine Manager is machine06.;

To recover from this condition, attempt to restore the environment again either to the same or a different snapshot.;

We have tried to restart the VMs from SCVMM but the issue is still. Also from the Env, we can't do any snapshot operations and power operations including shutdown.

After investigation, the root cause is that
1.SQL server uses too high memory on TFS server (because the "lock pages in memory" feature is enable and sql max memory is set 6G)
2.There is about more than 98% memory in use on tfs server
3.So there no memory left for other tasks on TFS server. (TFS App tire is combined with db tire)

Solution:
1.Limit Sql server max memory to 4G (server has 8G)
2.Restart TFS
3.Restart each failed environments
