Resuming VMs
A VM can be resumed only if it is in a suspended (SP) state. Resuming a VM saves time as it does
not involve the actual shutdown and reboot of the OS.
A VM is resumed by the hpvmresume command. The hyvmresume command checks whether
the VM and its resources defined in the configuration file can be allocated. If it cannot be allocated,
the VM is not resumed. Only superusers can execute the hpvmresume command.
A VM cannot be resumed under the following conditions:
VM is not in a suspended state.
The server has fewer CPUs than the VM requires.
The server has insufficient free memory.
The server has insufficient CPU resources.
The server has insufficient swap resources.

resumed.
The specified MAC address is in use.
The specified guest is a distributed guest.
