The prlctl suspend command is used to save the state of a running container.
Syntax.
prlctl suspend <CT_name>
During the prlctl suspend execution, the current container state is saved to a special dump file and the container itself is stopped. The created dump file is saved to the Dump file in the /vz/private/<CT_UUID>/dump directory on the server.
The prlctl resume command is used to restore the container from its dump file created with the prlctl suspend command.
Syntax.
prlctl resume <CT_name>
When executed, prlctl resume searches for the Dump file in the /vz/private/<CT_UUID>/dump directory on the server and restores the container from this file.You can restore the container dump file on the Source Server, i.e. on the server where this container was running before its dumping, or transfer the dump file to another server and restore it there.
Note
Note: Before restoring a container from its dump file, make sure that the file system on the Destination Server is identical to that at the moment of the container dumping. Otherwise, the container restoration may fail.
