Thanks Andrew,<br />

We have 6 CPU cores and 6GB memory provisioned for the appliance. Below are the screenshots for the &quot;Services&quot; and &quot;Rollback&quot;; however, no checkpoints were found under the &quot;Rollback&quot; tab:<br />

Yes. I read the other post you provided. I appreciate the follow-up and info.<br />
<br />
I was wondering what would be the proper way of shutting down or restarting; is it thro command prompt from the console or is it by right clicking the appliance VM --&gt; &quot;Power&quot; --&gt; &quot;Shutdown Guest&quot; or &quot;Restart Guest&quot;? &nbsp;Just wanted to make sure we are doing it properly?!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have VMWare VDP 5.5.10.5 appliance installed. When restarting, it hangs during boot stating that &quot;<b>estimated time to complete: 10 minutes</b>&quot;, but it takes a very long time to boot and in addition to that, after it boots up, some services such as &quot;Core Services&quot; and &quot;Management Services&quot; are &quot;Stopped&quot; and not able to come back up.<br />

Any help is greatly appreciated.<br />

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
