Mike, Right.
The history is recoverVirtualMachine API was created several years ago, restoreVirtualMachine didn't exist yet at that time. So, the icon that fires recoverVirtualMachine API was labeled as "Restore" at that time. restoreVirtualMachine API came along several years later. Then, since label "Restore" has already taken, the icon that fires restoreVirtualMachine API was therefore labeled as "Reset". The result is indeed weird. We'll fix the label to match API name.

Thanks, Jessica The even weirder part, though, is that the text Restore maps to the recoverVirtualMachine API and the text Reset VM maps to the restoreVirtualMachine.

I'll file an UI bug to match icon label with API name. i.e. The icon that fires recoverVirtualMachine API will be labeled as "Recover" and the icon that fires restoreVirtualMachine API will be labeled as "Restore" -----Original Message----- From: Brian Federle Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 10:29 AM To: Alena Prokharchyk Cc: dev@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:dev@cloudstack.apache.org>; Brian Federle; Jessica Wang; Mike Tutkowski; Harikrishna Patnala Subject: Re: Resetting a VM is broken? >> the Reset Vm option is presented as a button unlike the icons I think this was because all the other icons we tried to represent this with were too confusing to users - they were clicking on 'reset VM' thinking it was 'reboot VM' - then as a last minute fix the decision was to just to show a text label. Any ideas from anyone on what would be a good icon representation? -Brian On Mar 19, 2014, at 3:02 PM, Alena Prokharchyk <alena.prokharc...@citrix.com<mailto:alena.prokharc...@citrix.com>> wrote: > 1) Didn't notice "the elephant" - that the Reset Vm option is presented as > a button unlike the icons for other options.
