Yep. The purpose of quiescing is exactly as described in that document: taking a backup without powering off the VM.

Quiesce means quiesce guest VM file system? Like http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015180 4.2 will support VM snapshot for vmware, but don't know it sets quiesce flag to 1 or not.

Now the question is, after I've run it... how do I know when it is done so I can operate on the volume? Poll using updateStoragePool and query the state for "Maintenance"? What about introducing the ability to pass in callback URLs to the REST call? Thx.
