HostSystemPowerState_enum

HostSystemPowerState_enum
HostSystemPowerState_enum

Defines a host's power state.

Possible values:

  • poweredOn: The host is powered on.

    A host that is entering standby mode entering is also in this state.

  • poweredOff: The host was specifically powered off by the user through VirtualCenter.

    This state is not a cetain state, because after VirtualCenter issues the command to power off the host, the host might crash, or kill all the processes but fail to power off.

  • standBy: The host was specifically put in standby mode, either explicitly by the user, or automatically by DPM.

    This state is not a cetain state, because after VirtualCenter issues the command to put the host in standby state, the host might crash, or kill all the processes but fail to power off. A host that is exiting standby mode exiting is also in this state.

  • unknown: If the host is disconnected, or notResponding, we cannot possibly have knowledge of its power state.

    Hence, the host is marked as unknown.
