A VM moves through a series of states from creation to deletion. The current state is reported in the status field of the VM object, which you can retrieve with GET /v3/flexVM/clouds/{cloudUuid}/vms/{vmUuid}.
provisioning
The VM is being created and resources are being allocated on a Node.
created
The VM has been created but has not yet started.
starting
The VM is booting.
running
The VM is powered on and operational.
stopping
The VM is shutting down.
stopped
The VM is powered off. Its disks are retained.
paused
The VM is suspended, with its state held in memory.
failed
The VM entered an error state during provisioning or operation.
deleting
The VM is being removed and its disks are being wiped.
deleted
The VM has been removed.
A newly created VM transitions through provisioning → created → starting → running.
From running, you change a VM's state by issuing commands (stop, reboot, and so on) — see Managing VMs. Stopping a VM moves it through stopping → stopped; starting it again returns it through starting → running.
Deleting a VM moves it through deleting → deleted and immediately wipes its local LVM disk and any NVMe passthrough disk. See Creating and Deleting a VM.
A VM in the failed state cannot be recovered. Delete it and create a new one. If failures persist, contact i3D.net support.
