Rebooting the System

Reboot the everRun system using the everRun Availability Console to safely restart both PMs without incurring downtime for the VMs.

Caution: Rebooting the everRun system by any method other than following (for example, rebooting from the PMs individually) may result in data loss.

Note: You can reboot the system only if both PMs are running, healthy, and not in maintenance mode.

Prerequisite: Confirm that both PMs are running before rebooting.

To reboot the everRun system

Select System in the left-hand navigation panel.
Click the Reboot button. A message appears, asking you to confirm the reboot. Click Yes to continue.

Rebooting can take up to 15 minutes. You can observe the process in the Dashboard and the masthead of the everRun Availability Console. The system's PMs sequentially enter and then exit maintenance mode (for information on maintenance mode, see Maintenance Mode).
Verify that the PMs restart and that all VMs continue running as expected.

After you initiate a reboot, a message in the masthead shows the status of the reboot. If necessary, you can cancel the reboot by clicking Cancel Reboot in the masthead.

Caution: If you cancel a reboot, the system is left in its current state and you need to manually restore it to a healthy state.
