Syntax Description

vm_name Specifies the VM name.
forceful Forcefully terminates the VM.
graceful Gracefully shutdowns the VM if possible (default).

Default

By default, the VM is shutdown gracefully, if possible.

Usage Guidelines

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 Integrated Application Hosting (IAH) feature requires the Solid State Storage Device SSD-120.

Example

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

# stop vm vm1 forcefully
