Reset a server

You might need to reset a server if the server operating system has become unresponsive.

Prerequisites 

Resetting a server

  1. From the main menu, do one of the following:

    1. Select Server Hardware and select a server.

    2. Select Server Profiles and select a server profile.

  2. Select ActionsReset.

  3. Select the type of reset to perform, do one of the following:

    • Click Reset to perform a warm reset that immediately resets the server without removing power.

    • Click Cold boot to perform a hard reset that immediately removes power from the server hardware, and then restarts the server after approximately six seconds.


    [NOTE: ]

    NOTE: A reset and a cold boot can circumvent any graceful shutdown features the operating system might have.


  4. To verify that the activity is successful, check the activity for a green status in the Notifications area.

    If the activity is not successful, follow the instructions in the proposed resolution.
