Description

Suspend and Hibernate a VM. Verify it resumes as expected. For more details, see:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Virt_Guest_Suspend_Hibernate

Setup

Nothing beyond the initial test day setup (basically a function F18 VM).

How to test

Initiating suspend/hibernate from inside the guest

Start a VM, connect to the graphical console with virt-manager
From inside the guest, as root, run:
```
# pm-suspend
```
Verify the state changes to 'suspended' in the main virt-manager window
Click inside the black VM guest console, and press any key on the keyboard
Verify the VM resumes right where it left off.
From inside the guest, as root, run:
```
# pm-hibernate
```
Verify the guest appears to shutdown in the main virt-manager window
Start the guest again
Verify that the VM resumes right where it left off

Initiating suspend/hibernate from the host

Start a VM, connect to the graphical console with virt-manager
From the host machine, as root, suspend the guest with virsh:
```
# virsh dompmsuspend --target mem
```
Watch virsh until the VM is listed as 'suspended':
```
# virsh list --all
```
Wake the guest up with virsh:
```
# virsh dompmwakeup
```
Using the graphical console, verify the guest appeared to resume correctly
From the host machine, as root, hibernate the guest with virsh:
```
# virsh dompmsuspend --target disk
```
Watch virsh until the VM is listed as shutoff:
```
# virsh list --all
```
Wake the guest up with virsh:
```
# virsh dompmwakeup
```
Verify that the VM resumes right where it left off

Expected Results

No obvious errors encountered, guests seem to be functioning as normal after resuming.
