Insight for Guest Virtual Machines (VMs) Enhancements

In addition to the standard abilities to start and stop a guest virtual machine (VM), you now have the ability to suspend, resume, and to save the state of a VM.

You also now have the ability to configure the VM‘s disk bus or controller. The default bus type is VirtIO, but some operating systems do not support this, and as a consequence, the VM will fail to boot. In this case, you can configure the bus type to IDE or SCSI.

Supported Platforms

ExtremeSwitching X465-24MU, X465-2MU-24W, X465i-48W, and X465-24XE switches, X695 series switches.
