Rebooting just my bit of VMware Server

[djieon]

Hi All,

I am a complete newbie to VMWare and I have an issue that i need to solve.

My administrators have set me up my own VMware server using VMWare however one of my services is stuck and i need to reboot my server. How do i do this?

My other question is that I understand that there may be 10 vmware servers on 1 physical server so when i sent the reboot command it wont re-boot the actual physical server will it? I just want to reboot my one virtual server.

Is there a nice freeware gui I could get that runs on my laptop to make this task easier?

I am a local admin on my virtual server which is running windows 2000 sp4. Unfortanately as its a sunday my administrators are not in to ask so its over to you guys! thanks in advance.

David.

Treat your Windows server as you would do a physical server. If you reboot it, it reboots your Windows server only. You can only reboot the host server if you have access to the host server itself.

If you have RDP access to the server, just do a restart from there.
