[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-8354) [VMware] restoreVirtualMachine should forcefully power off VM

Matty Courtney created CLOUDSTACK-8354:
------------------------------------------

             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?
