Reset Multiple Virtual Machines

Resetting multiple VMs simultaneously clears their state (memory, cache, and so on) while the VMs continue to run.

Resetting a virtual machine is the equivalent of pushing the reset button of a physical machine. It initiates a hard reset of the operating system without changing the power state of the virtual machine.

Prerequisites

Verify that the VMs are powered on.

Procedure

1. On the Virtual Data Center dashboard screen, click the card of the virtual data center you want to explore and from the left panel, select Virtual Machines.
2. Toggle on the Multiselect option.
3. Select the VMs that you want to reset.
4. From the Actions menu, select Power > Reset.
5. Click OK to confirm.
