Reboot the cloud server
You can reboot the cloud server — either programmatically or hardware (via power off).
Perform a program reset
The server will reboot without powering down. A graceful shutdown will be performed — the operating system will shut down correctly and restart.
If the server does not respond within a fixed time, it will be forced to reboot hardware — unsaved data may then be lost.
Control panel
OpenStack CLI
- In control panel go to Cloud platform → Servers.
- On the menu. of the server select Software reboot.
-
Perform a program reset:
openstack server reboot <server>
Specify
<server>
— ID or server name. The list can be viewed using the commandopenstack server list
Perform a hardware reboot
During a hardware reboot, the server shuts down and immediately powers up — no recreation of the configuration.
We recommend performing a hardware reboot only if the server fails to respond — otherwise turn the server off and on.
Control panel
OpenStack CLI
- In control panel go to Cloud platform → Servers.
- On the menu. of the server select Power reboot.
-
Perform a hardware reset:
openstack server reboot --hard <server>
