	IMPORTANT: Do not use the CloudSystem Console or the CloudSystem Portal to change the state of virtual machines that were instantiated using the Enterprise Cloud Service Management Console.

Prerequisites

Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator
Verify the state of the instance to reboot. The instance must have a state of Active, Shutoff, or Resize Pending.

Rebooting an instance

Select the instance to reboot.
Select Actions→Reboot.

A dialog appears with the name of the selected instance. The dialog provides you a choice: either a soft reboot, which performs a shutdown and restart of the virtual machine software, or a hard reboot, which forces a power cycle.
Choose Yes, soft reboot or Yes, hard reboot, or select Cancel to exit without making changes.
Verify that the state of the instance becomes Active on the Instances overview screen.
