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. 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.
- From the ( ) menu of the server, select Program Restart.
-
Perform a program reset:
openstack server reboot <server>
Specify
<server>
— server name or ID, can be viewed with theopenstack server list
command
Perform a hardware reboot
During a hardware reboot, the server shuts down and immediately powers up — no recreation of the configuration.
We recommend only performing a hardware reboot if the server is not responding — otherwise shut down and power on the server.
- Control panel
- OpenStack CLI
- In Control Panel, go to Cloud Platform → Servers.
- From the server menu ( ), select Power Restart.
-
Perform a hardware reboot:
openstack server reboot --hard <server>
Specify
<server>
— server name or ID, can be viewed with theopenstack server list
