Nutanix - Node Reboot

Poweroff CVM and Reboot Node

1. Connect to <cluster> CVM

   ssh nutanix@<cluster>.excellus.com

2. Verify host and CVM IP addresses

   host.list

3. Gather list of VMs that are running on <host>

   acli host.list_vms <host_ip_address>

4. Put <host> in maintenace mode, this will live-migrate all running VMs to other nodes

   acli host.enter_maintenance_mode <host_ip_address> wait=true

5. Verify VMs have moved off host

   acli host.list_vms <host_ip_address>

6. Shutdown the CVM on <host>

   ssh <cvm_ip_address>

   cvm_shutdown -P now

7. Connect to node <host> & reboot

   ssh root@<host_ip_address>

   shutdown -r now

8. Monitor the host boot process from the IPMI

   https://<IPMI_ip_address>

   Click: System Tab

   Click: Remove Console Preview

9. Once node has completed reboot and is running, exit maintenance mode. All VMs will live-migrate back to this node

   host.exit_maintenance_mode <host_ip_address> wait=true

10. Verify MVs are returning to original host

    acli host.list_vms <host_ip_address>
