Creating an RSR task

Use the CREATE option to create a new Rolling System Reboot (RSR) task. Each cluster can have only one active RSR task.

Procedure

1. Select Configure > Lenovo XClarity Integrator > Rolling Reboot.
2. Click CREATE to launch the create task wizard.
   Note

   The CREATE button is enabled only if a task is in the Finished, Canceled, or Failed status in the task list.
3. On the Select hosts page, input the task name and select one or more target hosts, and click NEXT
4. On the Reboot options, select or toggle one or more of the following options, and click NEXT.

   • Parallelization: Specifies the number of hosts that can be restarted concurrently. Rebooting multiple hosts concurrently requires more system resources. It is recommended to set the value according to the current available system resources of the cluster, for example, CPU and memory on the vCenter Server. The default value is 1, and the maximum value is 4.

   • Stop On Error: Specifies whether to continue update if one host is failed.

   • Recommission Mode: This option is only visible in the vSAN cluster. Users can specify decommission mode when migrating virtual machines.

   • Schedule: Specifies a time to initiate the task.

   Note

   The power-on password or system guard stop the restart of server. If the power-on password or system guard is enabled and the target server is required restart during the update, users should take action following the prompt message.
5. On the Summary page, confirm the information, and click FINISH. RSR will initiate the task according to the schedule.
