Wei Zhou commented on CLOUDSTACK-4894:
--------------------------------------
Alena,
>From my point of view, destroy and expunge are two different operations.
DestroyVM can destroy the VMs in Running/Stopping/Starting/Error, and expunge
them if expunge=true
ExpungeVM can expunge the destroyed VMs whenever admin needs.
DestroyVM can be modified to expunge destroyed VMs, but I think it is more
clear for users if add a new API ExpungeVM.
> destroyVm API: add support to force expunge the vm immediately

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4894
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: API, UI
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: Alena Prokharchyk
> Assignee: Sonny Chhen
> Fix For: 4.2.1

>
> When destroyVM API is called, the vm gets destroyed only in the DB. The
> actual expunge is being taken care later on by expunge thread (configured
> using expunge.interval and expunge.delay params). As we keep on getting the
> requests on adding a support for forceful expunge - when vm is expunged
> immediately after the call is made - it would make sense to introduce some
> flag to destroyVm command, controlling the behavior.
> So destroyVm will get new parameter - expunge (boolean, false by default).
> When true is passed as a value, the vm will be expunged right away.
