Description

The ID of the virtual machine to start, stop, or reset.

Remarks

The stop command can perform a 'hard' or a graceful virtual machine shutdown. If the --kill parameter is included, the 'hard' shutdown will be performed. If the parameter is omitted, the outcome of the graceful shutdown attempt will depend on the following:

The reset command stops and then starts a virtual machine. The command first performs a 'hard' virtual machine shutdown and then starts the virtual machine from the stopped state.

The start command can be used to start a stopped virtual machine or to resume a paused virtual machine.
