I have a request to do $SUBJECT in relation to a V2V workflow. The use case here is conversion of a VM/Physical which was previously powered off. We want to move its data, but we don't want to be powering on stuff which wasn't previously on.
This would involve an api change, and a hopefully very small change in drivers to support it. Technically I don't see it as an issue.
However, is it a change we'd be willing to accept? Is there any good reason not to do this? Are there any less esoteric workflows which might use this feature?
If you upload an image of said VM which you don't boot, you'd really be accomplishing the same thing, no? Unless you want to be in a state where you want the VM to be there but sitting in SHUTOFF state
