From my Googling it doesn't seem like it's possible to suspend a KVM zone.
Will this functionality be added to SmartOS?
I don't believe we have support for suspending a KVM guest, and it's
certainly not something that there seems to be much call for. What
problem are you trying to solve?
If your guest OS has a hibernation feature (where it dumps DRAM state to
swap and knows how to read it back in on boot), you could conceivably
configure it to do hibernation when it receives the ACPI shutdown
signal. It's not as elegant as having the hypervisor do it for arbitrary
guest configurations, but it might solve your problem...
Windows definitely has that, and I'm pretty sure various Linux
distributions can do it these days too.
