Hello @Darren ,

After rebooting your host, you may notice Azure Stack services aren't immediately available. This is because Azure Stack infrastructure VMs and RPs take some time to check consistency, but will eventually start automatically.

You might also notice that tenant VMs don't automatically start after a reboot of the ASDK host. You can bring them online with a few manual steps:

1. On the ASDK host, start Failover Cluster Manager from the Start Menu.
2. Select the cluster S-Cluster.azurestack.local.
3. Select Roles.
4. Tenant VMs appear in a saved state. Once all Infrastructure VMs are running, right-click the tenant VMs and select Start to resume the VM.
