Chapter 3 Working with Virtual Machines Table 3-1. Virtual Machine Operations (Continued) Operation Description Suspend Freezes a virtual machine operation and its CPU. This option preserves the state of the virtual machine until you use the Resume option. For example, suspend a machine when you need to step away from this environment but you do not want to lose the current state. Suspending a machine generates the same result as choosing the Save Memory State option for undeploy operations in the User Preferences page. Options on the User Preferences page affect behavior for all operations rather than a single operation. Turn Off Turns off the virtual machine. This option is the virtual equivalent of powering off a physical machine. Turn On Turns on the virtual machine. This option is the virtual equivalent of powering on a physical machine. Undeploy (Save State or Discard State) Stops running a virtual machine on the Managed Server pool. You have the option to save the memory state or discard the state of each virtual machine. For information on the concept of saving state, see the Suspend entry in this table and "Setting User Preferences" on page 111. Summary of Virtual Machine States Table 3‐2 summarizes the nontransitory states of virtual machines. Table 3-2. Virtual Machine States (Nontransitory) State Description On Virtual machine is deployed and running on the Managed Server system. You can see the thumbnail icon of the virtual machine console. Off Virtual machine is deployed (registered on the Managed Server system) but not running. Suspended Virtual machine processor is frozen. Processor can leave the suspended state at the point where it became suspended. Undeployed Virtual machine is off and not registered on the Managed Server system. If you deploy the virtual machine, Lab Manager registers and reboots it on the Managed Server system. VMware, Inc. 33

Summary of Virtual Machine States
Table 3
‐
2 summarizes the nontransitory states of virtual machines.
Suspend
Freezes a virtual machine operation and its CPU. This
option preserves the state of the virtual machine until you
use the
Resume
option.
For example, suspend a machine when you need to step
away from this environment but you do not want to lose
the current state.
Suspending a machine generates the same result as
choosing the
Save Memory State
option for undeploy
operations in the User Preferences page. Options on the
User Preferences page affect behavior for all operations
rather than a single operation.
Turn Off
Turns off the virtual machine. This option is the virtual
equivalent of powering off a physical machine.
Turn On
Turns on the virtual machine. This option is the virtual
equivalent of powering on a physical machine.
Undeploy (Save State or Discard
State)
Stops running a virtual machine on the Managed Server
pool.
You have the option to save the memory state or discard
the state of each virtual machine. For information on the
concept of saving state, see the Suspend entry in this table
and
“Setting User Preferences”
on page 111.

Virtual Machine States (Nontransitory)
State
Description
On
Virtual machine is deployed and running on the Managed Server system.
You can see the thumbnail icon of the virtual machine console.
Off
Virtual machine is deployed (registered on the Managed Server system) but not
running.
Suspended
Virtual machine processor is frozen.
Processor can leave the suspended state at the point where it became
suspended.
Undeployed
Virtual machine is off and not registered on the Managed Server system.
If you deploy the virtual machine, Lab Manager registers and reboots it on the
Managed Server system.
