Suspend, Resume section has confusing meaning explaining when VCPUs are available.
"Suspending a server is similar to placing a device in hibernation; memory and vCPUs become available to create other servers."
When VM is shutdown, it stays on a server. Its allocation is hold against an allocation of the server. Placement counts all VCPUs, for active and inactive VMs.

I confirm this is as a doc bug. I think the "Suspend, Resume" section of the doc should be synchronized with the description of the SUSPENDED state which already correctly states that the resources are not freed.
