Rebooting V-center server during production hours

[Beadmin]

Hi,

I know its a silly questions, but trying to figure out down side of "Rebooting V-center server during production hours"

- Will the servers running as VM's would be affected?

Thanks

Hi Beaadmin,

Restarting vCenter or vCenter services will not affect any VMS.

vCenter - Management software for the multiple ESX, all the VMS will be running under ESX, so resrarting vCenter will not affect the running VMs.

You cannot manage the vCenter till you restart, also DRS will not fuction at that time.

Restarting vCenter server will NOT have any impact on the VM's or to the ESXi host
