[one-users] [Question] What's the purpose of Shutdown operation?

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

A VM in the SHUTDOWN state is waiting for the OS to gracefully shutdown.
The VM life-cycle ends when the VM reaches the DONE state.

To boot the same guest machine again, just create another instance of its
template (onetemplate instantiate).

More information on the VM life-cycle:
