Starting a virtual machine

If you've previously shut down a virtual machine, you can start it again by typing (e.g. assuming a virtual machine called 'matt1'):

$ bigv vm start matt1

CD URL:              
CPUs:                4
Discs:               
Management address:  213.138.98.28
Name:                matt1
Network interfaces:  
Power on:            no
RAM (MB):            4000

Currently, the dump of various statistics shows that the start was successful.

The machine will power on, and you should be able to watch it boot by typing vm connect - a normal Linux system will usually be available within 60 seconds of starting though.
