Reboot Blade / Reboot Chassis options in a vCMP Guest
Hi,
Which is the difference between "Reboot Blade" and "Reboot Chassis" when we're working at a Guest level?
It's clear that from a Guest I'll never be able of affect the real hardware, so I'l never be able of reboot the blade or chassis. When I use this options on a Guest, what is the real effect?
I don't have a vCMP test environment, so I can't test it. I guess that any of those options will reboot the Guest, but with any difference between the blade or chassis option?
I guess that maybe, "Reboot Blade" at a Guest level will reboot the VM for that Guest on that blade, and "Reboot Chassis" at a Guest level will, maybe, reboot all the VMs for that Guest on all the slots to which that Guest is spanned.
I haven't find any documentation about this specific subject, so any help to clarify this will be welcomed :)
Thanks.

You asumptions are correct, actions will do the same as a chassis without VCMP but in the guest context.

Hi Arnaud, happy to hear that these options work as I thought. Thanks.

No problem, I have tested it in my lab, but I will look for documentation.

I was wondering about this as well. Has this been confirmed? "reboot chassis" at the guest (vcmp) will reboot that guest and all the slots/cores that it spans and not the complete host chassis? Thanks.

Reboot Chassis will just reboot that BIG IP guest. It will not impact Host or other guests on that host.
