------------------------------------------
Summary: expungeDestroyedVirtualMachine API call
Key: CLOUDSTACK-4505
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4505
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: API
Affects Versions: Future
Reporter: David Matteson
We want to provide users a long recovery time before expunging their VMs
automatically. Recovery is a great feature. But the problem is that users
cannot deploy a new VM with the same hostname or IP address as a Destroyed VM
which has not yet been expunged.
So it would be great to have an API call that lets users say "No I really don't
want to recover that VM, please delete it so I can deploy a new one."
expungeDestroyedVirtualMachine would be called with a single vmid to specify
which Destroyed VM should be cleared, and of course it would only work on a VM
which is in Destroyed state already.
