ideally, you should just unprepare the phantom entity. this will only work if the phantom host shows zero vms on it from vCloud Director. In a worst case situation: 1. clear inventory tables, and...
View ArticleRe: Blocking tasks + Storage lease expire
I don't recall a blocking task for lease expiry, but you might be able to block a vapp deletion event. then see if the delete was triggered by the system account (lease expiry) vs user (actual username).

View ArticleRe: Migrating VMs out of vCD and back into a standard ESXi cluster cleanly?
Your over-all idea does seem like it would work. I would point out if you are using linked clones (fast provision) you need to be careful with the link/unlink options as in some paths you could break...

Good point. We had issues with linked clones some time ago so we abandoned their use. For others reading this link, our use of vCloud Director is very vanilla and only has one tenant so that is why we...
