14.8.2. Suspending a Guest Virtual Machine
Suspend a guest virtual machine with
virsh:
# virsh suspend {domain-id, domain-name or domain-uuid}
When a guest virtual machine is in a suspended state, it consumes system RAM but not processor resources. Disk and network I/O does not occur while the guest virtual machine is suspended. This operation is immediate and the guest virtual machine can be restarted with the
resume (Section 14.8.6, “Resuming a Guest Virtual Machine”) option.
