XenCenter

Restart Toolstack

The Restart Toolstack option allows you to restart the XenServer management toolstack. This toolstack controls VM lifecycle operations, host and VM networking, VM storage, and user authentication. It allows the management of XenServer resource pools. The toolstack provides the publicly documented Management API, which is used by all tools that manage VMs and resource pools.

Note:

Sometimes, the Restart Toolstack option can be used for troubleshooting XenServer issues. However, be cautious when using this option, as incorrect usage can cause unexpected results.

Do not restart the toolstack while HA is enabled. If possible, temporarily disable HA before restarting the toolstack.
