<title>Evacuate instances</title>

<para>If a cloud compute node fails due to a hardware malfunction or another reason, you can
|
|
evacuate instances to make them available again. You can choose evacuation parameters for
|
|
your use case.</para>
|
|
<para>To preserve user data on server disk, you must configure shared storage on the target
|
|
host. Also, you must validate that the current VM host is down; otherwise, the evacuation
|
|
fails with an error.</para>
|
|
<procedure xml:id="evacuate_shared">
|
|
<step>
|
|
<para>To list hosts and find a different host for the evacuated instance, run:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova host-list</userinput></screen>
|
|
</step>
|
|
<step>
|
|
<para>Evacuate the instance. You can pass the instance password to the command by using
|
|
the <literal>--password <pwd></literal> option. If you do not specify a
|
|
password, one is generated and printed after the command finishes successfully. The
|
|
following command evacuates a server without shared storage from a host that is down
|
|
to the specified <replaceable>host_b</replaceable>:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova evacuate <replaceable>evacuated_server_name</replaceable> <replaceable>host_b</replaceable></userinput> </screen>
|
|
<para>The instance is booted from a new disk, but preserves its configuration including
|
|
its ID, name, uid, IP address, and so on. The command returns a password:</para>
|
|
<screen><computeroutput><?db-font-size 70%?>+-----------+--------------+
|
|
| Property | Value |
|
|
+-----------+--------------+
|

+-----------+--------------+</computeroutput></screen>

</step>
|

<step>
|
|
<para>To preserve the user disk data on the evacuated server, deploy OpenStack Compute
|
|
with a shared file system. To configure your system, see <link
|

|
|
>Configure migrations</link> in <citetitle>OpenStack Cloud Administrator
|
|
Guide</citetitle>. In the following example, the password remains
|
|
unchanged:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova evacuate <replaceable>evacuated_server_name</replaceable> <replaceable>host_b</replaceable> --on-shared-storage</userinput> </screen>
