Just so I'm clear, CS.RequestStateChange(6==offline) will not suspend
(aka save) the vm.  This appears to be the case after a quick look at
__state_change in Virt_ComputerSystem.c.  In fact, RSC(6) would result
in CMPI_RC_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED.  I assume this is noted in the
capabilities :-).

In order to do the equivalent of e.g. "xm save" in xen, one would invoke
CreateSnapshot().  Following the operation, state would be suspended. 
To "restore", invoke ApplySnapshot().  Is this correct?

Thanks,
Jim
