You can shut down or stop a Virtual Machine (VM) guest from the System Page, Identity tab.

A VM guest can only be shut down if it is currently powered on and the Microsoft Virtual Server Additions of the VMware Tools are installed on the VM guest.

To shut down or stop a VM guest:

  1. Select ToolsSystem InformationSystem Page.

  2. Select a VM guest. Refer to Managing with Tasks - Creating a Task for more information on selecting a target system.

  3. Click [Stop]. A confirmation box appears.

  4. Click [OK] to confirm the process.

  5. Select [Stop VM] or [Shut down VM] when prompted. Selecting [Stop VM] powers off the VM guest immediately without saving the current state. Selecting [Shut down VM] shuts down the VM operating system and then powers off the VM guest.

Unsaved data is lost if you select [Stop VM].

When you stop or shut down the VM guest, the VM guest status is updated to Disabled. The [Stop], [Pause], and [Reset] buttons are disabled and the Start button is enabled.
