vRealize Guest Automation Agent Reboot

[andrewsanderson]

Is this possible to reboot between software installations when using the vRealize Guest Agent instead of software components?

1. VirtualMachine.Software0.ScriptPath     softwareinstall0
2. VirtualMachine.Software1.ScriptPath   <---- Reboot
3. VirtualMachine.Software3.ScriptPath     softwareinstall3

I'm assuming the agent will continue after the reboot, is this correct?

Thanks in advance

I tried to do this once and always got failures unless using software components. vRA really doesn't like it when you reboot a system whose guest agent is running work items. It inevitably ends up in a hung state.
