.. -*- rst -*- ========================================================== Servers - run an administrative action (servers, action) ========================================================== Enables administrators to perform an action on a server. Specify the action in the request body. You can change the administrative password for, create a back up of, and inject network information into a server. You can migrate, live-migrate, reset networking on, and reset the state of a server. Create Server Back Up (createBackup Action) =========================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Creates a back up of a server. Specify the ``createBackup`` 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. .. note:: Starting from version 2.39 the image quota enforcement with Nova `metadata` is removed and quota checks should be performed using Glance API directly.

No response body is returned. Inject Network Information (injectNetworkInfo Action) ===================================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Injects network information into a server. Specify the ``injectNetworkInfo`` action in the request body. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions through the ``policy.json`` file. .. warning:: There is very limited support on this API, For more information, see `nova virt support matrix `__ Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - injectNetworkInfo: injectNetworkInfo **Example Inject Network Information (injectNetworkInfo Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-admin-actions/admin-actions-inject-network-info.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Migrate Server (migrate Action) =============================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Migrates a server to a host. The scheduler chooses the host. Specify the ``migrate`` action in the request body. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role 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) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - migrate: migrate **Example Migrate Server (migrate Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-migrate-server/migrate-server.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Live-Migrate Server (os-migrateLive Action) =========================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Live-migrates a server to a new host without rebooting. Specify the ``os-migrateLive`` action in the request body. Use the ``host`` parameter to specify the destination host. If this param is ``null``, the scheduler chooses a host. If a scheduled host is not suitable to do migration, the scheduler tries up to ``migrate_max_retries`` rescheduling attempts. Starting from API version 2.25, the ``block_migration`` parameter could be to ``auto`` so that nova can decide value of block_migration during live migration. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions through the ``policy.json`` file. Starting from REST API version 2.34 pre-live-migration checks are done asynchronously, results of these checks are available in ``instance-actions``. Nova responds immediately, and no pre-live-migration checks are returned. The instance will not immediately change state to ``ERROR``, if a failure of the live-migration checks occurs.

Reset Networking On A Server (resetNetwork Action) ================================================== .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Resets networking on a server. .. note:: Only the XenServer driver implements this feature and only if the guest has the XenAPI agent in the targeted server. Specify the ``resetNetwork`` action in the request body. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions through the ``policy.json`` file. Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - resetNetwork: resetNetwork **Example Reset Networking On A Server (resetNetwork Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-admin-actions/admin-actions-reset-network.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body. Reset Server State (os-resetState Action) ========================================= .. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action Resets the state of a server. Specify the ``os-resetState`` action and the ``state`` in the request body. Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions through the ``policy.json`` file. Normal response codes: 202 Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404) Request ------- .. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - server_id: server_id_path - os-resetState: os-resetState - os-resetState.state: os-resetState_state **Example Reset Server State (os-resetState Action)** .. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-admin-actions/admin-actions-reset-server-state.json :language: javascript Response -------- If successful, this method does not return content in the response body.
