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. ---

This seemed to be a good explanation: > **[myF5](https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K44259537)**
