Power off a vAppPowering off a vApp powers off all the virtual machines in the vApp. To perform certain actions, such as adding a vApp to a catalog, copying it, or moving it to another VDC, first you must power off the vApp. Reset a vAppResetting a vApp clears state (memory, cache, and so on), but the vApp continues to run. Suspend a vAppSuspending a vApp preserves its current state by writing the memory to disk. Discard the Suspended State of a vAppIf a vApp is in a suspended state and you no longer have to resume the use of the vApp, you can discard the suspended state. Discarding the suspended state removes the saved memory and returns the vApp to a powered-off state. Power on Multiple vAppsYou can power on multiple vApps simultaneously. This action powers on all the VMs in the vApp that are not already powered on. Power off Multiple vAppsYou can power off multiple vApps simultaneously. This action powers off all the virtual machines in the vApps. To perform certain actions, such as adding a vApp to a catalog, copying it, or moving it to another virtual data center, first you must power off the vApp. Discard the Suspended State of Multiple vAppsIf multiple vApps are in a suspended state and you no longer have to resume their use, you can discard the suspended state of the vApps simultaneously. Discarding the suspended state removes the saved memory and returns the vApps to a powered-off state. Reset Multiple vAppsResetting multiple vApps simultaneously clears their state, which includes memory, cache, and so on, but the vApps continue to run. Suspend Multiple vAppsSuspending multiple vApps simultaneously preserves their current state by writing the memory to disk. Parent topic: Working with vApps
