+module: xenserver_guest_powerstate
+short_description: Manages power states of virtual machines running on Citrix XenServer host or pool
+description: >
+   This module can be used to power on, power off, restart or suspend virtual machine and grecefully reboot or shutdown guest OS of virtual machine.
+version_added: '2.8'
+author:
+- Bojan Vitnik (@bvitnik) <bvitnik@mainstream.rs>
+notes:
+- Minimal supported version of XenServer is 5.6
+- Module was tested with XenServer 6.5, 7.1 and 7.2
+- 'If no scheme is specified in C(hostname), module defaults to C(http://) because C(https://) is problematic in most setups. Make sure you are
+   accessing XenServer host in trusted environment or use C(https://) scheme explicitly.'
+- 'To use C(https://) scheme for C(hostname) you have to either import host certificate to your OS certificate store or use C(validate_certs: no)
+   which requires XenAPI.py from XenServer 7.2 SDK or newer and Python 2.7.9 or newer.'
+requirements:
+- python >= 2.6
+- XenAPI
+options:
+  state:
+    description:
+    - Specify the state VM should be in.
+    - If C(state) is set to value other than C(present), then VM is transitioned into required state and facts are returned.
+    - If C(state) is set to C(present), then VM is just checked for existance and facts are returned.
+    default: present
+    choices: [ powered-on, powered-off, restarted, shutdown-guest, reboot-guest, suspended, present ]
+  name:
+    description:
+    - Name of the VM to work with.
+    - VMs running on XenServer do not necessarily have unique names. The module will fail if multiple VMs with same name are found.
+    - In case of multiple VMs with same name, use C(uuid) to uniquely specify VM to manage.
+    - This parameter is case sensitive.
+    required: yes
+    aliases: [ 'name_label' ]
+  uuid:
+    description:
+    - UUID of the VM to manage if known, this is XenServer's unique identifier.
+    - It is required if name is not unique.
+  wait_for_ip_address:
+    description:
+    - Wait until XenServer detects an IP address for the VM.
+    - This requires XenServer Tools preinstaled on VM to properly work.
+    default: 'no'
+    type: bool
+  state_change_timeout:
+    description:
+    - 'By default, module will wait indefinitely for VM to change state or accquire an IP address if C(wait_for_ip_address: yes).'
+    - If this parameter is set to positive value, the module will instead wait specified number of seconds for the state change.
+    - In case of timeout, module will generate an error message.
+    default: 0
