6.9.7. Restarting an Oracle VM Server

When you restart an Oracle VM Server, an operating system restart command is sent and the Oracle VM Server is restarted. Before you can restart an Oracle VM Server, you must stop any running virtual machines, or place the Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode to automatically migrate the running virtual machines.

When the Oracle VM Server is restarted and rejoins the server pool, the master Oracle VM Server initiates any pending HA operations in the server pool. When Oracle VM Manager is notified that the Oracle VM Server is online and available, any pending state changes are reconciled before any policy actions are resumed.

To restart an Oracle VM Server:

  1. Stop or migrate any running virtual machines. To stop the virtual machines see Section 7.9.5, “Shutting Down a Virtual Machine”. To automatically migrate the virtual machines to other Oracle VM Servers in the server pool, place the Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode , see Section 6.9.9, “Placing an Oracle VM Server into Maintenance Mode” .

  2. In the Home view, select the Oracle VM Server in the navigation pane. Select Restart Server from the Actions menu.

The Oracle VM Server is restarted.
