Virtual App Power Off V App Task

Virtual App Power Off V App Task

Stops this vApp.

The virtual machines (or child vApps) will be stopped in the order specified in the vApp configuration, if force is false. If force is set to true, all virtual machines are powered-off (in no specific order and possibly in parallel) regardless of the vApp auto-start configuration.

While a vApp is stopping, all power operations performed on sub entities are disabled through the VIM API. They will throw TaskInProgress.

Required privileges: VApp.PowerOff
