Support for guest hibernation

Hi.

I'm developing a driver and one of the automated tests I need to run tests that the driver behaves correctly when the system hibernates and then comes back up. So far all of the virtualization solutions I've tried either don't support this (VirtualBox, Hyper-V) or don't work quite correctly (Workstation).

Does vSphere support guest hibernation?

Thanks.

VMs in vSphere and in VMware workstation should be able to be suspended and brought back online later.

As for hibernation, that's an option within the OS of your VM.
