CAUTION: If you shut down or stop a virtual machine guest, unsaved data is lost.
• Suspending or pausing a virtual machine guest:
Tools→Virtual Machine→Suspend Virtual Machine
• Resetting or restarting a virtual machine guest:
Tools→Virtual Machine→Restart Virtual Machine
For KVM virtualizations, HP recommends using the virt-manager, virsh, and other,
KVM-specific commands to manage the virtual guests from their KVM hosts, where these tools
are typically installed. For example:
• Starting or resuming a virtual machine guest:
# virsh start virtual_guest_name
• Shutting down a virtual machine guest gracefully:
# virsh shutdown virtual_guest_name
CAUTION: If you shut down a virtual machine guest, unsaved data is lost.
• Suspending a virtual machine guest:
# virsh suspend virtual_guest_name
• Moves a virtual machine guest out from its suspended state:
# virsh resume virtual_guest_name
NOTE: For specific commands, see the virsh(1) and virt-manager(1) manual pages that accompany
your KVM distribution.
