Copy of server showing as suspended after Veeam quick Migrate
I used quick migrate to copy some servers from SAN to SAN.
After one copy it left a 'suspended' version of the machine with a _migrated added to the name.
Now we see that this machine is running on a snapshot also.
a. Does suspended mean not is use at all and can therefore be shutdown?
b. Is this just a leftover copy from the Veeam process and can be deleted?

It made a copy of the server before migration.
The moved the server (copy)
Then powered up the server on the correct SAN.
Renamed the copy to***_migrated
Suspended it and it's running off the other copy.
It just looks like it didn't delete the file on the old SAN.
I'm just wondering what suspended actually does? It can't take connections etc?

Hi,
don't know exactly, but it somehow put the VM to sleep, copying its used memory pages to disk, and no it cannot take connections during this state.
I really never use that in years of ESXi, but I suppose someone could find it usefull, also the use cases are obscure to me.

So the migrated vm is on the right storage but it is still in a suspended state in VMware?
Can you Resume it ? In Vmware you have these options for VM, among a lot of others :
stop / start / suspend
Start option equal the Resume option when VM is suspended.
