[one-users] How to reboot a host without migrating the VMs running on it?

[Gerry O'Brien]

Hi,

     Is there any recommended way to reboot a host without migrating the 
VM from it to another host?

     The issue I have is that I need to reboot all the hosts but as they 
are running a lot of large Windows images (up 100GB) the logistics of 
live migration if complicated.

     Can the image be put into a recommended state and resumes after the 
host has restarted. I've tried shuting down the VM but this doesn't seem 
to work. Maybe it is aWindows issue.

         Regards,
             Gerry
