A method - the transition from inactive to terminal state would be 'terminate'. The action of 'stop' and http-delete is certainly the only way to do it currently but as Kim's question shows, this is perhaps not particularly intuitive.

Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Question about Compute instance action
Would the "stop-terminate" state be equivalent to a stop Action followed
by a removal of the Compute instance?
The state diagram in [1] page 6 has shows the "stop" action changing the
state from Active to Inactive. You mean to add another state Andy?

Hi Kim, The required functionality is in the specification as an Action against an instance specified by its URL. Please see Section 3.1 (table 3, 2nd row) of the Infrastructure specification [1] and also the Core specification [2] for more details on Actions. 'stop' will result in termination. In [3] there are examples of such Actions (e.g. pg 11). On review of the noted sections there is no explicit specification of a stop-terminate state change as you note. It's a good catch and the Infrastructure specification will be updated to reflect this, should no one else here have an objection to the change?
Thanks!

i have a question concerning the OCCI Compute instance actions.
Comparing to the Amazon EC2-API, OCCI obviously delivers no action to terminate an Instance. Terminating in the Amazon-API means, that the instance is shut down and won´t be visible after one hour. The Action you listed in the GFD-P-R.184 on page 5 gives only the possibility to hibernate or suspend.
Is that the same or am I just confused :) ?
Thanks for clearing that up for me !!!
Feel free to answer in German :)
Keep up the good work,
Kind regards, Kim Rohner _______________________________________________ occi-wg mailing list occi-wg@ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/occi-wg
