Re: Suspend/Stop VM

 

I never tried to stop a VM using api. But run a "nova help", it has
pause, reboot, resume, etc.

To bypass nova api, you can use virsh to stop instances. Do a "sudo
virsh list --all", it will list all the running instances even if nova
cannot see it for some reason. And then you can kill all the "ghost"
instances by "sudo virsh shutdown <id>".

Hope this helps.
