VMware RebootVm
Gracefully reboot a VM on an ESXi host
Requests a guest reboot through VMware Tools. Safer than a hard reset; requires the VM to be powered on with VMware Tools running.

trustStorePath string
Trust store path
Optional path to a PKCS12 trust store containing the CA certificate(s) used to validate the vCenter/ESXi server's TLS certificate. If omitted (or if the path does not exist), the JVM's default trust store (system CA certificates) is used instead. Certificate validation is always enforced; this plugin never disables TLS certificate validation.
