You can quickly and easily restart a virtual machine in DevTest Labs by following the steps in this article. Consider the following before restarting a VM:
-
The VM must be running for the restart feature to be enabled.
-
If a user is connected to a running VM when they perform a restart, they must reconnect to the VM after it starts back up.
-
If an artifact is being applied when you restart the VM, you receive a warning that the artifact might not be applied.
[!NOTE] If the VM has stalled while applying an artifact, you can use the restart VM feature as a potential way to resolve the issue.
-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
Select All Services, and then select DevTest Labs from the list.
-
From the list of labs, select the lab that includes the VM you want to restart.
-
In the left panel, select My Virtual Machines.
-
From the list of VMs, select a running VM.
-
At the top of the VM management pane, select Restart.
-
Monitor the status of the restart by selecting the Notifications icon at the top right of the window.
You can also restart a running VM by selecting its ellipsis (...) in the list of My Virtual Machines.
- Once it is restarted, you can reconnect to the VM by selecting Connect on the its management pane.
