Work On
Enters a PM into maintenance mode. VMs running on this PM migrate to the other PM, if it is in service. (Otherwise, you are asked to re-confirm the request and then shut down VMs.) When VMs are migrated or shut down, the PM displays running (in Maintenance). See Maintenance Mode.
The following actions are available after clicking the Work On button, when the PM has entered maintenance mode.
Finalize
Removes a PM from the state running (in Maintenance). See Maintenance Mode.
Shutdown
Shuts down a PM. The PM transitions to off (in Maintenance). See Shutting Down a Physical Machine.
Reboot
Reboots the PM. The PM transitions to preparing for reboot (in Maintenance). See Rebooting a Physical Machine.
Remove
Causes the everRun software to delete the PM from the everRun system’s database, so that you can replace the PM or one of its components. See Replacing Physical Machines, Motherboards, NICs, or RAID Controllers.
The following actions may be available when a PM has failed or when everRun software has removed a PM from service and powered it off, due to an excessive failure rate.
Reset Device
Resets the mean time between failures (MTBF) counter for a PM so it can be brought back into service. See Resetting MTBF for a Failed Physical Machine.
Recover
Recovers a failed PM. In some cases, the everRun Availability Console displays the state of a failed PM as Unreachable (Syncing/Evacuating…). See Recovering a Failed Physical Machine.
