The following power options perform extra functions in addition to the basic virtual machine power operations.
VMware Tools must be installed in the virtual machine to perform these functions:
Shut down guest
Shuts down the guest operating system gracefully.
Restart guest
Shuts down and restarts the guest operating system without powering off the
virtual machine.
Transitional Power States
Actions taken on a virtual machine require that the virtual machine be in specific power states.
When a power operation is performed on a virtual machine, the virtual machine power state changes and all
other commands are locked out until the first command is completed.
The figure below illustrates states, transitions, and state-changing commands for virtual machines.
