Running Virtual Machine 105
Suspending and Resuming a Virtual Machine
The state of the running virtual machine, and states of all running inside the virtual machine
applications, can be saved. This operation is called suspending the virtual machine. Later, you
can start the virtual machine and continue running the guest OS from the point where you
stopped it.
When the virtual machine is suspended, its state is saved in a file with the .sav extension. The
file is placed into the folder where the configuration file of the virtual machine is located.
Suspending a Virtual Machine
To suspend a virtual machine:
1 When virtual machine is running, choose Suspend from the Actions menu.
2 You can see the progress of saving the virtual machine's state process on the Please wait
while virtual machine is suspending dialog.
Note. It is not allowed to edit the configuration of the suspended virtual machine. If you
attempt to edit it anyway, the .sav file will be deleted, and you will not be able to resume the
virtual machine.
Resuming a Suspended Virtual Machine
To resume a suspended virtual machine:
1 Open the suspended virtual machine in Parallels Desktop.
2 Do one of the following:
Click the Start
button.
Choose Start from the Actions menu.
3 Wait until the guest OS state is resumed. The progress is displayed on the Please wait while
virtual machine is resuming dialog.
After the virtual machine has been resumed, its .sav file is deleted.
