The effect of this command is not persistent. The initial VM state after boot is determined by the VM‘s enabled/disabled configuration state. A VM is forcefully stopped if it does not shutdown gracefully within 60 seconds

To start a VM process, use the command start vm vm_name.

The Extreme Insight feature requires the Solid State Storage Device SSD-120.

Example

The following example stops the VM process "vm1" forcefully:

# stop vm vm1 forcefully
