Reboot Instance

To reboot an instance, there are two types of reboot available: Soft Reboot and Hard Reboot. Soft Reboot is used to restart the VM system gracefully by stopping all running processes one by one. Hard Reboot is used to force restart the system when the instance is not responding.

• To access Soft Reboot and Hard Reboot, click the Power menu. This option can be found in the Reboot section.

• To restart the VM system by stopping all running processes one by one, click the Soft Reboot button. To force restart the VM system, click the Hard Reboot button.

• A confirmation window will appear to confirm the reboot action. Then click Reboot.

• A Restarting the instance notification will appear indicating that the VM is being restarted.

• If the VM is successfully restarted, a notification will appear: Instance [your-instance-name] has been successfully restarted.
