Operate the vApp
The Vapp class includes methods that perform operations on the vApp. The majority of these operations return
a Task object that tracks the progress of the operation. The HellovCloud example uses these methods to cycle
the vApp through the following states:
1
Deploy the vApp using the vapp.Deploy() method.
2
Power on the vApp using the vapp.PowerOn() method.
3
Suspend the vApp using the vapp.Suspend() method.
4
Power off the vApp using the vapp.PowerOff() method.
5
Undeploy the vApp using the vapp.Undeploy() method.
6
Delete the vApp using the vapp.Delete() method.
