Hi all,
I read a bit about the difference between "Hibernate" and "Suspend". I use my laptop as virtualization host too, and wonder what about the VMs when Suspending.
I works fairly well when no VM is launched. What is suposed to happen if I have KVM VMs started?

Just like any other process -- they will be suspended too.

Actually the interesting question is what happens when they wake up? IOW Does the suspended guest kernel know that it was suspended and for example update its notion of the current time?

basically, yes. It's not (much) different than hibernate on laptops.

If one doubt validity of the host power management related to the guest, there is always availability of the guest power management, in addition to the 'virsh' power management, right. Therefore, man 1 virsh
