[VCD] Power States for your VM

You may want to power on/off your VM from time to time.

There are a couple of ways to do this.

  1. On your home page, you should see your VM with a play, pause, and stop button underneath.
    • The play button will start your VM
    •  The pause button will suspend your VM in whatever state it's in. i.e. if you have programs running, those programs will be suspended until you start your VM again.
    • The stop button will stop your VM and initiate a hard shut down. All your open programs will be shut down as well.
  2. You can also click on your VM to open it and you will be presented with the same 3 buttons.
    • in this option, you will also be presented with a Reset button. This will shutdown your VM and initiate a restart of the VM
