You can shutdown and start your platform, collector, or cluster VMs in vRealize Network Insight.

To shutdown and start a single platform or a collector VM:
  1. Shutdown the Platform or the Collector VM using the Shut Down Guest OS option.
    Note: Do not use the Power Off option.
  2. Power On the Platform or the Collector VM.
To shutdown and start your cluster setup:
  1. Shutdown the Platform VM using the Shut Down Guest OS option in the reverse chronological order. For example: Shut down from Node 3 to Node 1.
    Note: Do not use the Power Off option.

    After you shut down each Platform node, you must wait for 2 minutes for services to stabilize for the remaining Platform nodes.

  2. Power On the Platform VMs in the chronological order. For example: Restart from Node 1 to Node 3.

    After you power on each Platform node, you must wait for 2 minutes for services to stabilize for the running Platform nodes.
