Powering Off a Virtual Machine

Power off a virtual machine (VM) to stop it without properly shutting down the guest operating system.

Caution: Use the Power Off command only if the Shutdown command or guest operating system commands fail. Powering off a VM is similar to pulling the power cord, which may result in data loss.

To power off a virtual machine

  1. On the Virtual Machines page, select a VM.
  2. Click Power Off in the bottom panel.
