Rebooting a Physical Machine
Reboot a physical machine (PM) to restart its Stratus Redundant Linux software, and optionally exit the PM from maintenance mode. (If you need to reboot both PMs in a system licensed for two nodes, see Rebooting the System.)
If you are rebooting the one PM of a single-node system, do so only during a planned maintenance period, since rebooting the PM will shutdown VMs and you need to manually restart them.
To reboot a PM
-
Determine which PM (node0 or node1, if it exists) you want to reboot.
If appropriate, use the Identify button (see Identifying a Physical Machine).
- In the ztC Console, click Physical Machines in the left-hand navigation panel.
-
Select the appropriate PM (node0 or node1, if it exists) and then click Work On, which changes the PM's Overall State to Maintenance Mode and the Activity state to running (in Maintenance).
-
Click Reboot. As the PM reboots, the Activity state displays:
- preparing for reboot (in Maintenance)
- rebooting (in Maintenance)
- booting (in Maintenance)
- running (in Maintenance).
-
To exit the PM from maintenance mode and make it available for running virtual machines, click Finalize.
On a single-node system, you need to manually restart VMs.
