Manage instances
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
As an administrative user, you can manage instances for users in various
|
||
projects. You can view, terminate, edit, perform a soft or hard reboot,
|
||
create a snapshot from, and migrate instances. You can also view the
|
||
logs for instances or launch a VNC console for an instance.
|
||
|
||
For information about using the Dashboard to launch instances as an end
|
||
user, see the `OpenStack End User Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard-launch-instances.html>`__.

Create instance snapshots
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
#. Log in to the Dashboard and select the :guilabel:`admin` project from the
|
||
drop-down list.
|
||
|
||
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
|
||
and click the :guilabel:`Instances` category.
|
||
|
||
#. Select an instance to create a snapshot from it. From the
|
||
Actions drop-down list, select :guilabel:`Create Snapshot`.
|
||
|
||
#. In the :guilabel:`Create Snapshot` window, enter a name for the snapshot.
|
||
|
||
#. Click :guilabel:`Create Snapshot`. The Dashboard shows the instance snapshot
|
||
in the :guilabel:`Images` category.
|
||
|
||
#. To launch an instance from the snapshot, select the snapshot and
|
||
click :guilabel:`Launch`. For information about launching
|
||
instances, see the
|
||
`OpenStack End User Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/dashboard-launch-instances.html>`__.
|
||
|
||
Control the state of an instance
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
#. Log in to the Dashboard and select the :guilabel:`admin` project from the
|
||
drop-down list.
|
||
|
||
#. On the :guilabel:`Admin` tab, open the :guilabel:`System` tab
|
||
and click the :guilabel:`Instances` category.
|
||
|
||
#. Select the instance for which you want to change the state.
|
||
|
||
#. From the drop-down list in the Actions column,
|
||
select the state.
|
||
|
||
Depending on the current state of the instance, you can perform various
|
||
actions on the instance. For example, pause, un-pause, suspend, resume,
|
||
soft or hard reboot, or terminate (actions in red are dangerous).
