Pausing a Virtual Machine
When a virtual machine is paused, the guest OS is stopped and the virtual machine process is
removed from the CPU processes list. Execution of the guest operating system can be resumed
at any time.
Pausing the guest OS is recommended if you want to stop working with the virtual machine for
a short period of time.
If you want to leave it for an extended time interval, and, especially, if you need to restart Mac
OS X, it is better to suspend the virtual machine. See Suspending and Resuming Virtual
Machine (page 105).
To pause a virtual machine:
Select Pause in the Actions menu.
Click the Pause
button on the toolbar.
When a virtual machine is paused, its guest OS window is grayed out.
To continue running the virtual machine do one of the following:
Click the Start
button on the toolbar.
Click Continue from the Actions menu.
