Restart a cloud server
There are two ways to restart a cloud server:
- program restart without power-off;
- hardware restart with power-off.
Perform a program restart
The server will reboot without power loss. A graceful shutdown will be performed — the operating system will shut down correctly and start up again.
If the server does not respond within the set time, a hardware restart will be performed automatically—in this case, unsaved data may be lost.

OpenStack CLI
-
In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Cloud Servers.
-
In the server menu, select Program restart.
Perform a hardware restart
We recommend performing a hardware reboot only if the server is not responding. Otherwise, shut down and turn on the server.
During a hardware reboot, the server shuts down and immediately powers up — in this case, unsaved data may be lost. The configuration is not recreated in the process.
