VMware Quick Boot is a new type of "soft" reboot mechanism introduced in vSphere 6.7This hyperlink is taking you to a website outside of Dell Technologies.. Unlike a regular host reboot operation (warm or cold), Quick Boot does not involve going through the hardware reboot process. When you initiate a Quick Boot, ESXi restarts in a way similar to normal reboot operation. The hardware, however, does not go through the normal process of reboot operations such as POST, firmware load, re-initialization of hardware resources, and reloading ACPI/SMBIOS tables.

This feature helps to speed up server management workflows which do not require a hardware reboot. For example, applying an ESXi security patch or upgrading the ESXi hypervisor does typically not require you to have the host/hardware rebooted. See vSphere Update Manage Installation, and Administration Guide for instructions on configuration/ use this feature.

Dell EMC and VMware have worked together to enable Quick Boot on the following platforms.

  • PowerEdge R740
  • PowerEdge R740xd
  • PowerEdge R640
  • PowerEdge R730
  • PowerEdge R730xd
  • PowerEdge R630

The following script verifies that the hardware and software configuration of a given host supports Quick Boot. Dell Technologies recommends end users to run this script manually to make sure that the configuration is compatible for Quick Boot.
