The name of the virtual machine to pause, suspend, or resume.

The pause command pauses a virtual machine. To continue the virtual machine operation, use the prlctl start command.

The suspend command suspends the virtual machine operation. When a running virtual machine is suspended, the state of the virtual machine processes is saved to a file on the host. After that, the machine is stopped. To resume the machine, use the resume command.
