Canceling Scheduled Tasks

Canceling a task stops a running task from occurring, regardless of whether the task was a real-time task or a

scheduled task. The operation cancels only the running task. If the task being canceled is a scheduled task,

subsequent runs are not canceled.

Tasks that aren’t running can be cleared when they are in a queued or scheduled state. In such cases, because

the cancel operation is not available, either remove the task or reschedule it to run at a different time. Removing

a scheduled task requires that you recreate it to run it in the future, rescheduling does not.

You can cancel the following tasks:

Connecting to a host

Cloning a virtual machine

Deploying a virtual machine

Migrating a powered off virtual machine. This task is cancelable only when the source disks have not been

deleted.
