Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases).
Virtual Machines
Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases), valid for VMs:
| No. | Status | Run Action | Action | Explanation | |||||||

Possible future states:
- Crashed (when vm should be running, but there isn't a QEMU process around)
- Frozen or Non responding (requires QEMU guest agent or a watch dog)
Future editing:
- Certain values like disk, cpu and memory will be able to be changed, even if the vm is running.
Tool-Tips:
- "stopped, streaming (without the percent status)": Show streaming information with vm-name(s) and percent status.
- Save text of Tool-Tips in language files.
VM Templates
Naming of VM states (the second state is only needed for special cases), valid for VM Templates.
Since VM Templates are basically VMs with additional metadata and can be cloned from, most of the runtime states are the same as for VMs and therefore not explicitly copied below and the respective entries are shaded
| No. | Status | Run Action | Action | Explanation | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| start | shutdown | destroy | migrate | edit | delete | toggle | use | persistent | dynamic | |||
| 1 | Stopped | |||||||||||
| 2 | Stopped, streaming | After clicking "+" a list of all the vms (sstDisplayName) should appear with [5.1 %]. | ||||||||||
| 3 | Stopped, backing up | |||||||||||
| 4 | Stopped, migrating | Same state for the vm being migrated to a node and away from a node. | ||||||||||
| 5 | Stopped, first installation | If sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation. | ||||||||||
| 6 | Stopped, maintenance mode | If sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode. | ||||||||||
| 7 | Starting | Technically changing state from stopped to running. | ||||||||||
| 8 | Paused, backing up | Technically migrating to file. | ||||||||||
| 9 | Paused, migrating | The vm is being migrated to this node. | ||||||||||
| 10 | Running | |||||||||||
| 11 | Running, backing up | Technically merging, retaining, streaming. | ||||||||||
| 12 | Running, migrating | The vm is being migrated away from this node. | ||||||||||
| 13 | Running, first installation | If sstVirtualMachineMode is set to first installation. | ||||||||||
| 14 | Running, maintenance mode | If sstVirtualMachineMode is set to maintenance mode. | ||||||||||

| 17 | Deleting | |||||||||||
| 18 | Do not use | If sstVirtualMachineMode does not exist. | ||||||||||

- ↑ While the action is possible, the result may not be satisfying, most probably due to race conditions.
