Introduction

Suspending a VM temporarily retains the runtime status (including memory data and process status) of the VM so that the VM can recover quickly later. This operation is suitable when you need to temporarily release physical resources while preserving the business status. Typical scenarios include temporarily reallocating resources from a test VM that requires rapid recovery and pausing a business system for maintenance while retaining the current running status.

Precautions

After a VM is suspended, business services on the VM are paused. The VM can be recovered to restore the services when needed.

Steps

Step 1.Log in to SCP and go to Resource Center > VMs.

Step 2.Suspend VMs by one of the following means:

• Method 1: Find the VM that you want to suspend, click the more options button (···) in the Operation column, and select Suspend.

• Method 2: To suspend multiple VMs at a time, select the VMs, click More above the list, and select Suspend.

Step 3.In the confirmation dialog, click OK.

Result Verification

Step 1.In the VM list, check the Status column. If Suspended is displayed for the VMs, the operation has taken effect.

Step 2.Click the name of a VM to enter the VM details page. If resource data updates are paused, the VM has been suspended successfully.
