You can perform the following tasks to manage VM states:
Start a VM—Starts a VM.
Shut down a VM—Shuts down a VM. The system saves the data before shutting down the VM.
Power off a VM—Forcibly powers off a VM.
Hibernate a VM—Hibernates a VM in running or suspended state. When you hibernate a VM, the system saves the data in the memory into the hard disk as files, and then powers off the VM to hibernate it.
Restart a VM—Restarts a VM when the VM fails or when configuration changes, such as CPU, memory, or disk scaling, occur on the VM.
Powering off a VM will cause data loss and might cause guest OS failure. As a best practice, shut down the VM from its guest OS.
Whether a VM can be shut down successfully depends on the OS of the VM. Therefore, the actual state of the VM might be different from that displayed in CVM.
