To power off a VM using a virtualization platform, follow these general steps:
-
Open the Virtualization Platform: Launch the application or web interface of the virtualization platform you are using (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox, etc.).
-
Select the VM: Locate the virtual machine you want to power off in the list of available VMs.
-
Power Off Option: Right-click on the VM or look for a menu option that says "Power Off," "Shut Down," or "Stop." The exact wording may vary depending on the platform.
-
Confirm Action: If prompted, confirm that you want to power off the VM.
-
Wait for Shutdown: Allow some time for the VM to shut down completely.
These steps may vary slightly depending on the specific virtualization platform you are using.
