|
|
|
|
Cloning |
| Cisco IOS XE Release | Enables cloning a virtual machine or template, or cloning a |
|
| 3.9S1 | virtual machine to a template. |
Migrating |
| Cisco IOS XE Release | The entire state of the virtual machine as well as its |
|
| 3.9S | configuration file, if necessary, is moved to the new host |
|
|
| even while the data storage remains in the same location on |
|
|
| shared storage. |
|
|
|
|

| Cisco IOS XE Release | Enables moving the VM from one physical server to another |
|
| 3.9S | while the VM remains active. |
|
|

Supported Entities | Release | Description | |
|
|
|
|
Power On |
| Cisco IOS XE Release | Powers on the virtual machine and boots the guest operating |
|
| 3.9S | system if the guest operating system is installed. |
|
|
|
|
Power Off |
| Cisco IOS XE Release | Stops the virtual machine until it is powered back. The |
|
| 3.9S | power off option performs a “hard” power off, which is |
|
|
| analogous to pulling the power cable on a physical machine |
|
|
| and always works. |
|
|
|
|
Shut Down |
| Not supported. | Shut Down, or “soft” power off, leverages VMware Tools to |
|
|
| perform a graceful shutdown of a guest operating system. In |
|
|
| certain situations, such as when VMware Tools is not |
|
|
| installed or the guest operating system is hung, shut down |
|
|
| might not succeed and using the Power off option is |
|
|
| necessary. |
|
|
|
|
Suspend |
| Not supported | Suspends the virtual machine. |
|
|
|
|
Reset/Restart |
| Cisco IOS XE Release | Stops the virtual machine and restarts (reboots) it. |
