Happy to help, can you share more context around the situation and configuration?</P> Tue, 08 Oct 2024 12:46:41 GMT ChanceBingen 2024-10-08T12:46:41Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/VMware-shuts-down-and-restarts/m-p/455635#M10057 <P>For some reasons, all vmware services need to be stopped, powered off, and then restarted. Do I need to create a clone or snapshot for vmware before shutting down VMware? If I shut down VMware and then shut down the server without doing anything else, will there be a problem after the restart?</P> Tue, 08 Oct 2024 08:22:38 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/VMware-shuts-down-and-restarts/m-p/455635#M10057 wareer 2024-10-08T08:22:38Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/VMware-shuts-down-and-restarts/m-p/455638#M10059 <P>Hello.
