Physical Machine Actions

When you select a physical machine (PM), some or all of the following action buttons appear, with inactive buttons grayed out, depending on the PM's state and activity.

Caution: Use the Physical Machines page of the everRun Availability Console when you perform maintenance on a PM. Do not use controls on the computer (for example, the power switch on the PC), because the everRun Availability Console protects the everRun system from most actions that are potentially disruptive.

Commands	Description
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 action may be available when a PM has failed or when the everRun software has removed a PM from service and powered it off, due to an excessive failure rate.
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.
