A Virtual Private Server may be started up, restarted, and shut down like an ordinary computer. The Virtuozzo Power Panel page that provides access to these functions is available on clicking the Start/Stop VPS link on the Virtuozzo Power Panel menu.
Depending on the VPS state, only those operations are accessible that comply with its current state. For example, a running VPS cannot be started for obvious reasons, and so on. The following VPS states can be characterized as stable:
Status
Description
Running
The VPS is running; therefore, it may only be restarted or stopped.
Down
The VPS is stopped; therefore, it may only be started.
Besides these states, during VPS operations a VPS may be in one of the transitional states: mounting, starting, stopping, etc. When in a transitional state, you cannot perform any action on the VPS until the operation is finished. Press the Start VPS, Stop VPS, or Restart VPS button to perform the corresponding action. On pressing one of these buttons, this action is logged.
