Rebooting a Physical Machine

Reboot a physical machine (PM) to restart its everRun software, and optionally exit the PM from maintenance mode. (If you need to reboot both PMs in the everRun system, see Rebooting the System.)

To reboot a PM

1. Determine which PM (node0 or node1) you want to reboot.
2. In the everRun Availability Console, click Physical Machines in the left-hand navigation panel.

3. Select the appropriate PM (node0 or node1) and then click Work On, which changes the PM’s Overall State to Maintenance Mode and the Activity state to running (in Maintenance).

4. Click Reboot. As the PM reboots, the Activity state displays:

   • preparing for reboot (in Maintenance)
   • rebooting (in Maintenance)
   • booting (in Maintenance)
   • running (in Maintenance).
5. To exit the PM from maintenance mode and make it available for running virtual machines, click Finalize.
