Hi Nikolay, The life-cycle diagram [1] is the best way to understand the VM states, and what actions are available for each of them.
If you shut down a VM, it will enter the final DONE state, from which no action can be performed. A stopped VM on the other hand can be later resumed, using 'onevm resume'. Internally, the difference is that shutting down the VM it has a chance to perform any operations (like unregister from a service). A stopped VM is suspended (paused).
