Suspending and Resuming Virtual Machines
You can save the current state of your virtual machine. Then the resume feature lets
you quickly pick up work right where you stopped — with all running applications in
the same state they were at the time you suspended the virtual machine.
Note: You cannot suspend a virtual machine configured to use more than 2GB of
RAM.
There are two ways to suspend a virtual machine:
• With a remote console connected to that virtual machine, click Suspend on the
toolbar.
• With the VMware Management Interface connected to the virtual machine’s
server, click the pause button ( ) on the row for that virtual machine.
There are two ways to restore a virtual machine that you have suspended:
• With a remote console connected to that virtual machine, click Resume on the
toolbar.
• With the VMware Management Interface connected to the virtual machine’s
server, click the pause button ( ) on the row for that virtual machine.
You can also set your virtual machine so it always resumes in the same state. For
details, see Enabling Repeatable Resumes on page 191.
