Solved: Re: delete vcloud:vapp

esstokes1 · ‎11-01-2012

i'm not able to delete a vcloud:vapp using the library workflow because the vapp will not power off or shutdown completely. is there a way in vco to force stop a vapp? i've tried the power off a vapp and shutdown a vapp workflows but the vapp reports as partially running in vcloud director. thanks

Just use the "Undeploy a vApp" workflow and set the vCloud:UndeployPowerActionType to "force". This will force the whole vApp and vms off and into an undeployed state which will, in turn, allow you to delete the vApp

Have you tried to power off the individual VMs ? Maybe one of them is set to shutdown and does not.
