| Name | Description |
| poweredOff |
The host was specifically powered off by the user through
VirtualCenter. This state is not a cetain state, because
after VirtualCenter issues the command to power off the host,
the host might crash, or kill all the processes but fail to
power off.
|
| poweredOn |
The host is powered on. A host that is entering standby mode
vim.HostSystem.StandbyMode#entering is also in this state.
|
| standBy |
The host was specifically put in standby mode, either
explicitly by the user, or automatically by DPM. This state
is not a cetain state, because after VirtualCenter issues the
command to put the host in standby state, the host might
crash, or kill all the processes but fail to power off. A host
that is exiting standby mode vim.HostSystem.StandbyMode#exiting
is also in this state.
|
| unknown |
If the host is disconnected, or notResponding, we cannot
possibly have knowledge of its power state. Hence, the host
is marked as unknown.
