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:
Log in to the DCD with your username and password.
Select the appropriate Virtual Data Center associated with the Cube.
Click on the respective Cube in the Workspace.
From the Settings tab in the Inspector pane, select Power > Suspend.
(Optional) In the dialog that appears, connect using Remote Console and shut down the VM at the operating system level to prevent data loss.
Confirm your action by checking the appropriate box and clicking Apply SUSPEND.
Provision your changes. Confirm the action by entering your password.
Result: The Cube is suspended but not deleted.
