 -  **Suspend**, **Resume**
 
-   Administrative users might want to suspend a server if it is
-   infrequently used or to perform system maintenance. When you suspend
-   a server, its VM state is stored on disk, all memory is written to
-   disk, and the virtual machine is stopped. Suspending a server is
-   similar to placing a device in hibernation; memory and vCPUs become
-   available to create other servers.

    Resume will resume a suspended server to an active state.
