Resuming virtual machines

A virtual machine can be resumed only if it is in a suspended (SP) state. Resuming a virtual machine saves time as it does not involve the actual shutdown and reboot of the OS.

A virtual machine 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 virtual machine cannot be resumed under the following conditions:

Virtual machine is not in a suspended state.

The server has fewer CPUs than the virtual machine requires.

The server has insufficient free memory.
