OpenStack Dashboard Server Reboot

Use this function to perform either a soft or hard reboot of a server. With a soft reboot, the operating system is signaled to restart, which allows for a graceful shutdown of all processes. A hard reboot is the equivalent of power cycling the server. The virtualization platform should ensure that the reboot action has completed successfully even in cases in which the underlying domain/VM is paused or halted/stopped.

Nova Server Reboot

  • OpenStack soft reboot:

    $ nova reboot INSTANCE
    
  • OpenStack hard reboot:

    $ nova reboot --hard INSTANCE
    

Server Reboot

If you perform sudo reboot OpenStack will not know whether the reboot was intentional...
