RebootVm​Reboot​Vm

Reboot a virtual machine on a vCenter server by its name.

This task performs a graceful reboot of a virtual machine via VMware Tools. It is safer than a hard reset as it requests the guest OS to shut down and restart cleanly. The VM must be powered on and have VMware Tools running.
