------------------------------------------
Summary: [VMware] restoreVirtualMachine should forcefully power
off VM
Key: CLOUDSTACK-8354
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8354
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: API, VMware
Affects Versions: 4.4.2
Reporter: Matty Courtney
Priority: Minor
When restoreVirtualMachine API is called against a running instance CloudStack
issues a command to vCenter to shutdown the guest OS, which shuts the OS down
gracefully.
Sometimes this graceful shutdown can take several minutes if there are
processes that prevent/delay the OS shutting down gracefully.
Presumably, when I call the restoreVirtualMachine API I don't care about the
current state of the instance and nor do I care if it shuts down gracefully.
Could the restoreVirtualMachine instead tell vCenter to Power Off the VM, which
results in the VM immediately changing to a stopped state?
