Hi, 

Does anyone who is planning to implement kvm-pause/kvm-suspend? Currently, "nova pause(unpause) id" or "nova suspend(resume) id" works only for xenserver. If nobody has a plan, NTT Data would like to contribute.

Xenserver's pause/suspend might be slightly different from KVM's, but according to xenserver's manual, I think "pause" in Xenserver is similar to "suspend" in KVM. Also, "suspend" in Xenserver is similar to "save" in KVM.

A patch is prepared at below URL.

I appreciate any comments.
