vCAC 6.1 - Reconfigure does not shutdown VM

In my blueprint I have deselected "Enable power action selector". The documentation states:

Select Enable power action selector to allow users to choose whether to shut down their machine before reconfiguration.

If you disable this option, machines are shut down before reconfiguration.     

This is result I was hoping for but instead I get "CPU hot plug is not supported for this virtual machine" in the vSphere Client.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a bug?

Any responses appreciated!

Cheers

Have you tried  selecting it and doing reconfigure. In my opinion VMware documentation always has typos Smiley Wink

Hey - just revisiting this issue now.

Still does not work

In the blueprint > actions > reconfigure >  enable execution selector and enable power action selector are unchecked...

But you can still see bothg selectors in Items > VM > Edit > Execution.

Docs say that if these options are disabled it shuts down the VM... however it goes ahead and reconfigures the VM.

I wanted to eliminate this choice for users but it looks like another bug to me?

Can anyone else confirm this?
