vSphere tasks are activities and actions that occur on an object within the vSphere inventory. What to read next View TasksTasks represent system activities that do not complete immediately, such as migrating a virtual machine. For example, powering off a virtual machine is a task. You can perform this task manually every evening, or you can set up a scheduled task to power off the virtual machine every evening. How Do You Cancel a vSphere TaskCanceling a vSphere task stops a running task from occurring. Canceling a scheduled task does not cancel subsequent runs. To cancel a scheduled task that has not run, reschedule it. Export TasksYou can export the detailed information for selected tasks or all tasks listed in the Tasks page to a CSV file. Schedule TasksYou can schedule tasks to run once in the future or multiple times, at a recurring interval.
