vm.restart - meaning of various options
-
In the jobs function, there is a function to re-start a virtual machine called "vm.restart". It has a series of options. Is there anywhere that shows what the various options do?
The three options are shown below:
timeout
force (seems obvious but what if it not checked?)
bypassBlockedOperationThanks!

@archw Since the jobs settings give you an automatic direct access to the API methods, the parameters are not documented, unfortunately. Regarding
vm.restart,forcewill hard-reboot the VM instead of going through the guest tools andbypassBlockedOperationwill restart the VM even if you enabled "Protect against accidental shutdown" in the VM's advanced tab. -
@pdonias
One more...what does "timeout" do?
Thank you! -
@archw It's the amount of seconds after which the job run will be marked as failed if the run hasn't ended. If you configure a timeout on
vm.restartwith multiple VMs, the timeout will apply on each VM individually. -

@pdonias Thanks!

@pdonias Tis will sound weird but is there any way to have it try going through the guest tools first and, if it doesn't work, then do the hard-reboot of the VM?

Hi,
Can you describe more precisely what do you want to achieve?
