AltostratusReboot 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.

Diparaj_314408Reboot Chassis will just reboot that BIG IP guest. It will not impact Host or other guests on that host.
Jeff_Nguyen_449I 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.

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

Angel_Lopez_116Hi Arnaud, happy to hear that these options work as I thought. Thanks.

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