[Users] ovirt cli - starting vm with special options

[Michael Pasternak]

Hi Alex,

Your syntax is incorrect,

1. /action syntax is:
   'action <type> <id> <action> [parent-object identifiers] [attribute options]'

2.  to see detailed help for this action do:
   'help action vm vm2 start' or 'help action'

3. in your case /action syntax should be:
   'action vm vm2 start ...'

4. also --host-identifier option is not available in this action,
   please use auto-completion or /help to see available options,
   for more details, see [1]
