Resetting MTBF for a Failed Virtual Machine

Reset the mean time between failure (MTBF) counter for a virtual machine to attempt to restart a failed virtual machine.

If a virtual machine's guest OS crashes, everRun automatically restarts it, unless it has fallen below its MTBF threshold. If the virtual machine is below the MTBF threshold, everRun leaves it in the crashed state. If necessary, you can reset the MTBF counter and restart the virtual machine.

To reset the MTBF counter for a virtual machine

1. On the Virtual Machines page, select a virtual machine.
2. Click Reset Device.

If the system software supporting a VM on one physical machine fails too often, perform the steps below to reset its MTBF counter.
