vcenter_vm_power should mention that reset and stop are hard power off and hard reset not nice shutdown or reboot

Open RobVerduijn opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

SUMMARY

vcenter_vm_power currently does not make it clear that stop will result in virtually yanking the power cable out of the VM and a reset will result in a cold boot without the nice shutdown

also, a note explaining that the vm_guest_power module required for a nice shutdown has not been implemented yet

The vcenter_vm_guest_power module issues a request to the guest operating system asking it (nicely) to reform a reboot. Whereas vcenter_vm_power operates at the vcenter level and is unconditional. You're looking for the first module.
