These times on low end i5 / 12 GB / 7200 spinner laptop host. Testing it just now on three virtual machines with different programs up and running I got Save times from 12 - 15 seconds (resume 5 to 10 seconds, no programs running) up to 25 - 30 seconds (resume 20 - 25 seconds, Windows Update installing updates, a document open in Word, a presentation in PowerShell, video playing in Kodi and so on). This, the time needed of course depends on how much is going on, how many and how resource hungry processes are running on vm. You could say that relation of these two suspend options is as relation of Sleep (Pause) and Hibernate (Save) on a physical machine. Pausing and resuming a vm is instant and the recommended way to suspend if your host has enough RAM to manage without part allocated to vm. Using PowerShell, the cmdlets are Save-VM "vm_name" (to resume Start-VM "vm_name") to save vm, and Suspend-VM "vm_name" (to resume Resume-VM "vm_name") to pause vm.ĭifference between these two methods is that whereas Pause only releases all host processor resources still reserving RAM allocated to it, Save releases all host resources, including RAM. With HYPER-V suspend takes sometimes over a minute.īoth VM's have the OS itself on an SSD and they aren't running concurrently - to get HYPER-V you need to disable vmware and vice versa.Īt suspend time the servers don't have any clients accessing them - i.e there's no remote TV's watching streamed video from PLEX.Īny ideas !!! - can't understand why the suspend and resume function takes so long on HYPER-V - it's a very useful facility BTW.īoth can also be found in Action menu. Running Windows 2010 PRO x-64GB version build 1607 with vmware - suspend VM - takes about 4 secs.
The shared files are on 2 logical RAID 0 arrays - Hardware RAID controller used ( actual hardware 2 X 4 TB and 2 X 3 TB 7200 rpm HDD's) connect as RAW HDD's so the native XFS Linux file system is used on the VM's - no problem there with that BTW. I have two reasonably identical VM's (Linux CENTOS 7 basically runnng SAMBA, PLEX media server, logitech media server and sharing some files). Particularly Kari - you seem to be the resident expert on HYPER-V !!!!
