Is your array a Block only or do you also have a File configured?
To reboot an SP in Unisphere, go to System/Hardware/Storage Hardware. Once there open the SPs and right click on one of the SPs - in the screen cap below I've right clicked on SPA.
You'll only get root/nasadmin and sysadmin accounts if your array is the unified (file and block) model.
When you created the system account you're using (presumably when you were running the UIW) did you assign it administrator or security administrator role?
Well thanks Brett for the information, the issue is that the default admin account which I created does not provide me any option for rebooting the SPs and there is no option for enabling the CLI and advance settings.
I searched Unisphere SPs tabs and also connected from the USM but no option for this matter or advanced configuration presented to me.
Still could not find a proper document to read and study the basics of a Block VNX? EMC documents are very fargmented and there is no good tutorial book available as I searched the net.

Yes, The admin account permission is set to the Administrator role.
Actually, the easiest way to determine how to perform different operations on the array would be to use the Help built-in to Unisphere. Clicking on the Help icon, selecting "Search" and typing in "reboot" provides the answer to your question:
Unisphere can sometimes be frustrating (User Friendly), but when I can't find what I'm looking for by clicking around, I generally use the Help to see if the answer is there and most times it is. Help is very useful and it's a lot better than before. Certainly not as user friendly as a smart phone or Window 2012.

Have a read through the Security COnfiguration Guide. https://support.emc.com/docu48491_Security-Configuration-Guide-for-VNX-(VNX1-VNX2).pdf?language=en_US

Thanks Glen!
Seems that EMC Unisphere interface is not very user friendly
