&PRODUCT; now supports creating a VM without starting it. You can determine whether the VM needs to be started as part of the VM deployment. A VM can now be deployed in two ways: create and start a VM (the default method); or create a VM and leave it in the stopped state. A new request parameter, startVM, is introduced in the deployVm API to support the stopped VM feature. The possible values are: true - The VM starts as a part of the VM deployment. false - The VM is left in the stopped state at the end of the VM deployment. The default value is true.
