Power operationsprlctl start <vm_id | vm_name> Starts the specified virtual machine. The start command can be used to start a stopped virtual machine or to resume a paused virtual machine. prlctl resume <vm_id | vm_name> Resumes the specified virtual machine. prlctl pause <vm_id | vm_name> Pauses the specified virtual machine. prlctl suspend <vm_id | vm_name> Suspends the specified virtual machine. prlctl restart <vm_id | vm_name> Restarts the specified virtual machine. The restart command first gracefully shuts down a virtual machine and then starts it again. prlctl reset <vm_id | vm_name> Resets the specified virtual machine. The reset command first performs a 'hard' virtual machine shutdown and then starts it again. prlctl reset-uptime <vm_id | vm_name> Resets the specified virtual machine uptime counter (the counter start date/time will also will be reset with this action). prlctl stop <vm_id | vm_name> [--kill] [--drop-state] Stops the specified virtual machine. You can use the --kill option to forcibly stop the VM. The stop command can perform a 'hard' or a graceful virtual machine shutdown. If the - If the Parallels Tools package is installed in a virtual machine, the graceful shutdown will be performed using its facilities. - If the Parallels Tools package is not installed, the command will try to perform a graceful shutdown using ACPI. Depending on the ACPI support availability in the guest operating system, this may work or not. Use the --drop-state parameter to reset the specified VM from a suspended state to being completely shut down. Activating this option ensures that the specified VM starts afresh next time, completing the entire boot-up process. |
