Hi Sebgoa! Thanks for your suggest. I knew how to start/stop VM, but what I wanted is pause a VM without shutdown (or stop in CS term). Using "virsh" could "suspend" a VM, but I doubt it is a real "suspend" which will capture the current VM memory. I guess this feature relies on unsupported "virtual machine snapshot" for kvm, right?
