Or is anyone working on it? This seems fairly straightforward, and I think we may need the functionality going forward. Even if people rarely use it themselves, if storage solutions are going to offer snapshots they may want to pause the VM in order to get an atomic snapshot if the VM has multiple disks. So at least internally it may be a useful utility. --20cf307ca35e01403b04d9df6fa2--
