==================
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.
To reboot a server, use the :command:`openstack server reboot` command:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server reboot SERVER
By default, when you reboot an instance it is a soft reboot.
To perform a hard reboot, pass the ``--hard`` parameter as follows:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server reboot --hard SERVER
It is also possible to reboot a running instance into rescue mode. For example,
this operation may be required if a filesystem of an instance becomes corrupted
with prolonged use. See :doc:`rescue` for more details.
