There is no api to suspend/hibernate the VM. I think the reason it's not implemented is some Hypervisors might support suspend and some might not. Some hypervisors execute suspend/pause/hibernate only if the guest tools are installed. You can create jira ticket for it and please feel free to implement it.

Hi all, Is there a way to hibernate a running VM in CloudStack with the REST API? I know I can deploy/start/stop/destroy it but I couldn't find a way of hibernating it. By hibernate I mean - releasing the resources that the VM uses while preserving it's state (like SLEEP in Windows). In other words, when I resume the VM it should have the same state (running programs, opened files,...) as it was before the suspend. (This would need to persist the VMs RAM though). Any hints on what can I do? Is there anything implemented I can use or I need to develop it myself. My current setup uses KVM and CloudStack 4.1.1. Thank you! Krasimir
