Restarting is a common way to maintain the Cloud Virtual Machine. Restarting an instance is equivalent to restarting the operating system of a local computer.
Overview
- Restart preparation: The instance can not provide services normally during the restart, so before it is restarted, make sure that the Cloud Virtual Machine has suspended business requests.
- Restart operation mode: It is recommended to use the restart operation provided by the cloud platform to restart the instance instead of running the restart command in the instance (such as the restart command in Windows and the Reboot command in Linux).
- Restart time: Generally speaking, the restart operation only takes a few minutes.
- Instance physical characteristics: Restarting an instance does not change the instance's physical characteristics. The instance's public network IP, private network IP, and any stored data do not change.
Restarting an Instance in the Console
- Log in to the CVM console.
- Restart instance.
- Restart one instance: Select the instance you want to restart and click Restart at the top of the list. Alternatively, choose More > CVM Status > Restart in the right-side action column.
- Restart multiple instances: Select all instances that need to be restarted, and click Restart at the top of the list to restart instance in batch. Instances that cannot be restarted will display the reason.
