15.4. Suspending a Virtual Machine

You can use virsh to suspend a domain:

virsh suspend [domain-id | domain-name |domain-uuid] 

When a domain is in a suspended state, it still consumes system RAM. There will also be no disk or network I/O when suspended. This operation is immediate and the virtual machine must be restarted with the resume option .
