Hi,
I'm implementing an emergency shutdown script for the UPS controller and found a possible regression/bug/change in 5.5 when using the StandbyGuest() method. As per documentation this should start a standby procedure inside the guest and return immediately to the caller. In all my recent tests on vcenter appliance 5.5, vMA 5.5 or my local linux machine the method blocks until the suspend is finished.
Sadly I deleted my previous vcenter 5.1 instance and I'm not aware of a safe possibility to downgrade my current environment.
Does anybody know of such changes or has experienced the same in his environment?
Can someone please check the behavior in his environment?
Attached is my simplified script - please try it, if you like.
Thank you
Nikolaus
