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 GSX Server 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.

Options for Resuming a Virtual Machine

You can choose from the following options when resuming a virtual machine. Make your selection from the Power menu.

• Resume Then Run Script — resumes the suspended virtual machine, then executes the associated script. This is the same as clicking Resume on the toolbar, unless a script is not associated with resuming a virtual machine.
• Resume Virtual Machine — resumes the suspended virtual machine.
