JSON Example
{
"timeoutSec": 0,
"evacuatePoweredOffVms": false
}integer As int32 As int32
timeoutSec
Required
The task completes when the host successfully enters standby mode and stops sending heartbeat signals. If heartbeats are still coming after timeoutSecs seconds, the host is declared timedout, and the task is assumed failed.
boolean
evacuatePoweredOffVms
Optional
This is a parameter used only by VirtualCenter. If set to true, for a DRS disabled cluster, the task will not succeed unless all powered-off virtual machines have been manually reregistered; for a DRS enabled cluster, VirtualCenter will automatically reregister powered-off virtual machines and a powered-off virtual machine may remain at the host only for two reasons: (a) no compatible host found for reregistration, (b) DRS is disabled for the virtual machine.
