[one-users] onevm shutdown

[Alejandro Feijoo Fraga]

Hi.

The shutdown make a copy of a Running machine (after make a shutdown) 
is... like a ordered shutdown

onevm delete, just destroy a VM (not make a copy, therefore is necesary 
make de scp manual to keep the lasted VM)

For example.

imagine that:

  you, in 2011, make a image and upload to openebula repository 
(oneimage create ...). That image is a empty  OS

after, you instanciate that image, and install some app (like tomcat, 
for example)

your machine is running during 2011, and in 2012 (365 days later) you do 
the following command:

onevm delete VM-ID

Now, you LOST your work during 365 days. Because OpenNebula assumes, 
that not need make a copy

If, instead delete, you use "onevm shutdown VM-ID". OpenNebula update 
your repository image. Now you have at local repository an image updated 
365 days.

Hope that help :)
