Puppet » Cloud-Provisioner

On a vanilla install of vSphere 5.0.0u1 with a root login and rbvmomi either 1.3.0 or 1.5.1 the command puppet node_vmware terminate <path> fails to correctly terminate a VM on the first pass. Running the terminate command again as a second pass will successfully terminate the VM. Output for three successive commands (create, terminate, terminate) given below.
