Restart the Appliance from the UI

Use this procedure to perform a graceful shutdown and restart of the appliance from the UI.

NOTE:

For a clustered appliance:

  • Both the active appliance and the standby appliance are restarted.

  • The appliance that completes the restart operation first becomes the active appliance. The other appliance becomes the standby appliance when they form the appliance cluster.

Prerequisites
  • Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator

    Software administrator

  • Ensure that all tasks have been completed or stopped, and that all other users are logged off. Otherwise, restarting the appliance disconnects users and interrupts running tasks.

Procedure
  1. From the main menu, select Settings and then click Appliance.
  2. Select Actions > Restart.

    A dialog box opens to inform you that users will be logged out and running tasks will be interrupted.

  3. Select Yes, restart in the dialog box.
  4. Verify by logging in when the login screen reappears.
    IMPORTANT:

    If the standby appliance is not connected, activate it after it restarts by using the Maintenance console.

    For more information, see About the Maintenance console in the HPE OneView User Guide.
