Starting, Shutting Down, or Powering off a Virtual Machine

Start, shut down, or power off a virtual machine (VM) to control the state of the guest operating system running on the virtual machine.

To access the VM controls, click a VM on the VIRTUAL MACHINES page of the Stratus One View Console.

In the left panel of the VM details page, you can:

• Click Start to boot the guest operating system.
• Click Shutdown to begin an orderly shutdown of the guest operating system.
• Click Power Off to stop the virtual machine without properly shutting down the operating system.
