.. -*- rst -*- .. needs:parameter_verification .. needs:example_verification .. needs:body_verification =========================================== Servers - run an action (servers, action) =========================================== Enables all users to perform an action on a server. Specify the action in the request body. You can associate a fixed or floating IP address with a server, or disassociate a fixed or floating IP address from a server. You can attach a volume to a server. You can create an image from a server, evacuate a server from a failed host to a new host, and force-delete a server before deferred cleanup. You can lock, pause, reboot, rebuild, rescue, resize, resume, confirm the resize of, revert a pending resize for, shelve, shelf-offload, unshelve, start, stop, unlock, unpause, and unrescue a server. You can also change the password of the server and add a security group to or remove a security group from a server. You can also trigger a crash dump into a server since Mitaka release. You can get an RDP, serial, SPICE, or VNC console for a server. Add (Associate) Floating Ip (addFloatingIp Action) ================================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Adds a floating IP address to a server, which associates that address with the server. A pool of floating IP addresses, configured by the cloud administrator, is available in OpenStack Compute. The project quota defines the maximum number of floating IP addresses that you can allocate to the project. After you `create (allocate) a floating IPaddress `__ for a project, you can associate that address with the server. Specify the ``addFloatingIp`` action in the request body. If an instance is connected to multiple networks, you can associate a floating IP address with a specific fixed IP address by using the optional ``fixed_address`` parameter. **Preconditions** The server must exist. You can only add a floating IP address to the server when its status is ``available``.

Add Security Group To A Server (addSecurityGroup Action) ======================================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Adds a security group to a server. Specify the ``addSecurityGroup`` action in the request body. Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - addSecurityGroup: addSecurityGroup - name: name **Example Add Security Group To A Server (addSecurityGroup Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-security-groups/security-group-add-post-req.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Change Administrative Password (changePassword Action) ====================================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Changes the administrative password for a server. Specify the ``changePassword`` action in the request body. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role or the owner of the server to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions through the ``policy.json`` file. Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409), notImplemented(501) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - changePassword: changePassword **Example Change Administrative Password (changePassword Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-admin-password/admin-password-change-password.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Confirm Resized Server (confirmResize Action) ============================================= .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Confirms a pending resize action for a server. Specify the ``confirmResize`` action in the request body. After you make this request, you typically must keep polling the server status to determine whether the request succeeded. A successfully confirming resize operation shows a status of ``ACTIVE`` or ``SHUTOFF`` and a migration_status of ``confirmed``. You can also see the resized server in the compute node that OpenStack Compute manages. **Preconditions** You can only confirm the resized server where the status is ``VERIFY_RESIZED``, the vm_status is ``RESIZED``, and the migration_status is ``finished`` or ``confirming``. If the server is locked, you must have administrator privileges to confirm the server. **Troubleshooting** If the server status remains ``RESIZED``, the request failed. Ensure you meet the preconditions and run the request again. If the request fails again, investigate the compute back end or ask your cloud provider. Normal response codes: 204 Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - confirmResize: confirmResize **Example Confirm Resized Server (confirmResize Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/servers/server-action-confirm-resize.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Create Image (createImage Action) ================================= .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Creates an image from a server. Specify the ``createImage`` action in the request body. After you make this request, you typically must keep polling the status of the created image to determine whether the request succeeded. If the operation succeeds, the created image has a status of ``active`` and the server status returns to the original status. You can also see the new image in the image back end that OpenStack Image service manages. **Preconditions** The server must exist. You can only create a new image from the server when its status is ``ACTIVE``, ``SHUTOFF``, ``PAUSED``, or ``SUSPENDED``. The connection to the Image service is valid. **Troubleshooting** If the image status remains uploading or shows another error status, the request failed. Ensure you meet the preconditions and run the request again. If the request fails again, investigate the image back end. If the server status does not go back to an original server's status, the request failed. Ensure you meet the preconditions, or check if there is another operation that causes race conditions for the server, then run the request again. If the request fails again, investigate the compute back end or ask your cloud provider. If the request fails due to an error on OpenStack Compute service, the image is purged from the image store that OpenStack Image service manages. Ensure you meet the preconditions and run the request again. If the request fails again, investigate OpenStack Compute service or ask your cloud provider.

Rescue Server (rescue Action) ============================= .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Puts a server in rescue mode and changes its status to ``RESCUE``. Specify the ``rescue`` action in the request body. If you specify the ``rescue_image_ref`` extended attribute, the image is used to rescue the instance. If you omit an image reference, the base image reference is used by default. **Asynchronous Postconditions** After you successfully rescue a server and make a ``GET /servers/​{server_id}​`` request, its status changes to ``RESCUE``. Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409), notImplemented(501) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - rescue: rescue - adminPass: adminPass_rescue - rescue_image_ref: rescue_image_ref **Example Rescue server** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-rescue/server-rescue-req.json :language: javascript Response -------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - adminPass: adminPass **Example Extended rescue server** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-rescue/server-rescue.json :language: javascript Resize Server (resize Action) ============================= .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Resizes a server. Specify the ``resize`` action in the request body. A successfully resized server shows a ``VERIFY_RESIZE`` status, ``RESIZED`` VM status, and ``finished`` migration status. If you set the ``resize_confirm_window`` option of the Compute service to an integer value, the Compute service automatically confirms the resize operation after the set interval in seconds. **Preconditions** You can only resize a server when its status is ``ACTIVE`` or ``SHUTOFF``.
