  2. In VM Management Tree, select a location.
  3. On the Hosts tab, in the Hosts for Selected Location <location name> area, select a host.
  4. Click More Actions > Lifecycle Action > Host Restart.
  5. On the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

    The system restarts the host and virtual machines running on the host.
