Hi, this question is probably best asked on the openstack list, as the -dev list is intended for future state of OpenStack. To answer your question about closing a VM instance, do you mean stopping? There are two methods for stopping and starting an instance: - *nova pause* / *nova unpause* - *nova suspend* / *nova resume* >From : http://docs.openstack.org/cli/quick-start/content/nova_client.html Hope this is helpful, Anne On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 9:21 PM, Feiyu Liu <liufeiyu323 at gmail.com> wrote: > what is the process of close a virtual machine instance? > _______________________________________________ > OpenStack-dev mailing list > OpenStack-dev at lists.openstack.org > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
