The connectivity state of a virtual machine.

When the API is provided directly by a server product, such as ESX Server, then the disconnected state is not possible. However, when accessed through VirtualCenter, the state of a virtual machine is set to disconnected if the hosts that manage the virtual machine becomes unavailable.

Possible values:

connected: The server has access to the virtual machine.
disconnected: The server is currently disconnected from the virtual machine, since its host is disconnected.

See general comment for this enumerated type for more details.
orphaned: The virtual machine is no longer registered on the host it is associated with.

For example, a virtual machine that is unregistered or deleted directly on a host managed by VirtualCenter shows up in this state.
inaccessible: One or more of the virtual machine configuration files are inaccessible.

For example, this can be due to transient disk failures. In this case, no configuration can be returned for a virtual machine.
invalid: The virtual machine configuration format is invalid.

Thus, it is accessible on disk, but corrupted in a way that does not allow the server to read the content. In this case, no configuration can be returned for a virtual machine.

Possible values are : connected, disconnected, orphaned, inaccessible, invalid,
