 Reboot an instance

You can soft or hard reboot a running instance. A soft reboot attempts a graceful shut down and restart of the instance. A hard reboot power cycles the instance.

  • By default, when you reboot a server, it is a soft reboot.

    $ nova reboot SERVER

To perform a hard reboot, pass the --hard parameter, as follows:

$ nova reboot --hard SERVER
