[one-users] suspend vm on esxi 5

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi,

The .vmx file is created by libvirt. OpenNebula can be tailored to add
the line in the file, but I think is better to identify the problem.

 1) Are you using a .vmdk disk created in esx5, or are you importing
from previous versions?
 2) If you add the line, can you create snapshots?
 3) If you create a new VM from scratch, and do a snapshot using the
VI client, does it work?

Regards,

-Tino
