Hi,
according to http://openvz.org/User_Guide/Operations_on_Containers and http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/liaat/liaatkvmvirsh.htm it could be possible to "suspend" and "resume" any OpenVZ Container (The Container state is stored in a /vz/dump/Dump.xxx file on the Node) and the same is with KVM (Saves a running virtual machine to a state file so that it can be restored later. After the file saved, the virtual machine is no longer running on the system, so the memory allocated for the virtual machine is free for other virtual machines to use. This action is roughly equivalent to hibernating a running computer, with the same limitations.)

I'm using proxmox 3.1 and I'd like to know if these features are supported (I'm not finding from web interface) or when will be supported.

There is currently no API for that (but it should be easy to implement).
