Would it be possible for you to share this appliance ? Not the VAX/VMS
install image & config files as we probably all have our own, but the
vmware-server appliance. I guess you uses the Ubuntu JEOS or similar ?


For information about XEN idle see
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/xenpm of course this depends on your
XEN host OS, linux/Solaris/BSD etc.


VAX/VMS idle was discussed on the list a while back see
http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/pipermail/simh/2009-September/thread.html


And although its not really related here is the VAX/VMS idle
http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/pipermail/simh/2006-April/000510.html
from when power saving was for wimps.
