This module can be used to manage power states of host systems in given vCenter infrastructure.
User can set power state to 'power-down-to-standby', 'power-up-from-standby', 'shutdown-host' and 'reboot-host'.
State 'reboot-host', 'shutdown-host' and 'power-down-to-standby' are not supported by all the host systems.
