Description Colin Arnott 2016-02-11 20:21:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
you cannot triger retirement via an API call; service retirement can be trigger it via an API call and can result in the retirement of a VM, however without a service one would need to instantiate an automate model and interact with the automate APIs in order to directly retire a VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cfme-5.5.2.4-1.el7cf.x86_64

Additional info:
this bug is requesting that there be an API created that allows one to trigger retirement by interacting with a VM object
Comment 2 Tim Wade 2016-02-15 16:04:41 UTC 
Colin,

You can retire a vm with the following API call:

POST /api/vms/:id

{
  "action": "retire"
}

Please let me know if that doesn't meet your needs.

Thanks,
Tim

This looks like what we would like. Thanks for the info.

Tim/Colin,  if we can cleanly merge this to downstream 5.5.z, then there is no reason to wait.
