Prerequisites

User Role:

A past VM is a VM that was started and has since shut down. The Past VMs table keeps a record of each one, with its owner, project, team, hardware setup, resources, host, and start and shutdown times, so you can trace which machines ran and when. A past VM is not a VM configuration: the configuration it was started from persists after the shutdown and can be started again.
