Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377781 Title: VMWare: should use ShutDownGuest to do grace OS shutdown and then force power off if timeout passed Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Fix Released Bug description: With currently vmware driver. the power_off will explicitly calls PowerOffVM_Task. In this case, If a virtual machine is writing to disk when it receives a Power Off command, data corruption may occur. Actually in SDK, there is another method ShutdownGuest which will issues a command to the guest operating system asking it to perform a clean shutdown of all services. So it is suggest to use ShutdownGuest first and wait for some interval, if the power state is still up, make a force shutdown.
