If a VM resource is requested to transition in a state where it's already in, it returns success, instead it should return 'the resource is in the same state' #2736
Description
Activity
I would argue that the expected behaviour is a migration to host B but agree that the endstate does not qualify as a success. Do you request that this is implemented as failure result, @borisstoyanov ?
Yes @DaanHoogland, I do believe that it should return a failure if cloudstack is not able to execute the request with all required parameters.

COMPONENT NAME
CLOUDSTACK VERSION
SUMMARY
If a VM is already running on HostA and the Admin requests a Start on HostB, it will return a success with the VM being started on HostA. Instead it should return an error to the administrator that the resource is already in running state.
