Scaling powered off VMs

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

There are numerous scenarios where a VM is powered off and can/should be scaled. Once a workload is powered off though, the action goes away. I think it's important to allow these resources to be resized before they're powered on and requiring another interruption:

1. Public cloud: VMs that are suspended also can be scaled. A user should be able to execute the scaling action while the VM is powered off.

2. Horizon VDI: Especially in vGPU enabled VDI environments, user desktops are powered off quickly after the user disconnects in order to free up the GPU license for a different powered on VM. The GPU license is claimed at VM power on, not user logon, so the goal is to keep unused VMs powered off as much as possible. This becomes an issue when attempting to scale users of persistent desktops, where changing a user's entitlement isn't the method for scaling the user experience. Additionally, with vGPU enabled, CPU Hot Add is disabled, increasing the need to get the scaling action complete at the soonest opportunity.

    Additional scenario:

    DR pairs where the cold/warm site is powered off, and consistent sizing is required.
