Suspend a Cube

When you suspend a Cube, you turn off the server, but the Cube remains saved, and you can resume it later. The following occurs when you suspend a Cube:

• The Cube releases the associated CPU, RAM, and IP addresses and suspends their billing.

• The connected storage devices will be billed.

• The server does not remove the reserved IP addresses.

• A red cross marks the deallocated VM in the DCD.

To suspend a Cube, follow these steps:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Virtual Data Centers.

2. Select the data center where the cube is configured.

Select a Virtual Data Center (VDC)

3. Select the respective cube in the Workspace.

4. In the Inspector pane, select Power > Suspend.

5. (Optional) In the dialog that appears, connect using Remote Console and shut down the VM at the operating system level to prevent data loss.

6. Select Apply SUSPEND.

Confirm the action

7. Provision your changes.

Result: The Cube is suspended but not deleted.
