Re: [Condor-users] Stoping a VM & to start from Snaphshot

Hi Yoon,
I started a VM in a host grid1 as condor_job_ 1(*VM job*). So grid1" State = Claimed" in the ClassAds but I need to stop that VM by submitting a condor_ job_ 2 (Vanilla job) .
If i Submit a vanilla job to that host by giving Requirements = ("Machine == grid1").when I give 
condor_q -better -analyze it says.

 *1 match but are serving users with a better priority in the pool
*
In some were in condor config file I saw that (*NOTE:* Condor will only run 1 job at a time on a given resource. )
How can I submit a vanilla job to host running the VM in order to stop the running VM whether I need to add an classAds to that job_ 2 or anything can be done with Rank or priority. 

thanks for replay

Yes, you can submit a Vanilla job to the host running the VM in order
to stop the running VM.
For example, each VMware VM corresponds to one running regular process
on both Linux and Windows called "vmware-vmx". If you try to kill the
process, you can stop the running VM. Or you can use vmware utility
called "vmware-cmd" to stop a running VM.

For either way, the second job need to run with the same user account
of the running VM so that the second job can have privilege to control
the running VM.
