Resuming a Virtual Machine

To resume a virtual machine that you have suspended:

1. Start a local or remote console and open the virtual machine you just suspended.
2. Click Resume on the VMware ESX Server remote console toolbar.

   When you do so, the suspended virtual machine resumes running in the state it was in before it was suspended. Any applications you were running at the time you suspended the virtual machine are running and the content is the same as it was when you suspended the virtual machine.
