        ``'Running'``   Machine is ready and running.
        ``'Paused'``    Machine is paused (currently not available, see below).
        ``'Suspended'`` Machine is S3-suspended.
        ``'Halting'``   Machine is in process of shutting down.
        ``'Dying'``     Machine crashed and is unusable.
        ``'Crashed'``   Machine crashed and is unusable, probably because of
                        bug in dom0.
        ``'NA'``        Machine is in unknown state (most likely libvirt domain

        =============== ========================================================

        ``Paused`` state is currently unavailable because of missing code in
