Stop Instance on VMware hypervisor

[Gijsbert Janssen van Doorn <gi...@zerto.com>]

Hi All,

Unfortunately I have no way to test this, that is why I am asking this
here:

When stopping an Instance in CloudStack (with XenServer hypervisors) the
Instance is removed from the XenCenter inventory. Is this the same on
VMWare.. meaning that when I stop an Instance it gets removed from the
vCenter inventory, if so; is there any way to avoid this behaviour and to
keep the VM in the vCenter environment?

Thanks in advance!

Behavior on VMware is different than XS. The VMs are not removed/destroyed and remain accessible in vCenter.

Somesh

Hi Gijsbert,

When you stop a VM on VMware, it is not removed from Inventory. It shows as stopped (not-running) in vSphere.
