> [List Virtual Machines | http://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.4/root_admin/listVirtualMachines.html] offers the ability to list a batch of virtual machines by using the `ids` parameter (using comma separated virtual machine id's).  Like so:
> {code}
> http://<CLOUDSTACK_HOST>/client/api?apiKey=<API_KEY>&pagesize=100&ids=835bddd8-c9d2-45ea-bf26-851a880cd142%2C5763503e-b964-4f96-bc03-2ce1cf58133b%2Cbbc739dd-e3f2-4806-94ba-dc6015e06601%2C3dcb1b2c-c370-4367-8a88-4c768b148e48%2C2738999f-c7d1-42b5-8805-41f87d648478%2C0888b622-5036-4d3c-a3d6-98d22cb4e70c%2Ccd15de56-07e7-4fd5-ad35-83d38fdd5b47&page=1&command=listVirtualMachines&signature=<SIGNATURE>&response=json&listall=true
> {code}
> *Issue*
> If any of the id's presented is nonexistent in the current CloudStack installation (whether it once/never existed) it results in a `HTTP 431` error and no results are returned (even  if valid id's accompany invalid id(s)).
> *Note* it seems that if an invalidly formed virtual machine id is presented (i.e. one that does not exhibit uuid formatting, such as 'foo' or 'bar') then only the correctly formed uuid's presented result in rows returned.
> *Request*
> It would be desirable that if an old/nonexistent vm id is presented in the list of other vm ids then (whether it's a validly formatted uuid or not) it would result in rows only for valid id's presented.  There would be no error for invalid UUID's just no corresponding row.
