3.5.2.9 Suspend Virtual Machines

Suspending a virtual machine is analogous to putting a computer into sleep mode. When a virtual machine is suspended, the current state of the operating system, and applications is saved, and the virtual machine put into a suspended mode. When you resume the virtual machine, the operating system and applications continue from the same point you suspended the virtual machine.

To suspend virtual machines:

  1. Click the Servers and VMs tab.

  2. Select the server pool on which the virtual machine resides in the navigation tree.

  3. Select Virtual Machines from the Perspective drop-down list. Select one or more virtual machines in the management pane, and click Suspend Suspend icon .

The virtual machine state is saved and the virtual machines suspended.

To resume the virtual machine, see Section 3.5.2.10, “Resume Virtual Machine”.
