ISSUE TYPE

• Improvement Request

COMPONENT NAME

VMWARE / vShpere code

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.11.2 (didn't test all previous releases, except I know thing worked differently in 4.6)

CONFIGURATION

vSphere hypervisor used.

OS / ENVIRONMENT

NA

SUMMARY

After VM is stopped via API/GUI, it's not possible to immediately change VM (resize disk, change Service Offering, etc. - these 2 were tested) since they require the VM to be stopped (and VM is actually stopped), but due to VMware code using "ping.interval" global setting value, it can take up to 2 x ping.interval for VM power state to be fully synced from vCenter to Management Server. ( by default, this becomes up to 2 minutes)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Spin new VM, stop VM, and immediately try to change Service/Compute Offering for the VM.

EXPECTED RESULTS

It should be possible to change/edit a VM immediately after stopping it (i.e. this was possible in ACS 4.6)

ACTUAL RESULTS

Can't change Service/Compute offering or resize ROOT disk of a VM - you will get error that it's impossible since VM is not stopped.
