Reboot an instance
Prerequisites
The instance must be in the Running status. Bare metal EBC instances do not support forced reboot, and only normal reboot is supported.
A forced reboot is equivalent to a reboot after a power failure, which might result in the loss of data not written to the disk by the instance's OS.
Note
During reboot, your instance will stop working, and related services will be interrupted. Please operate with caution.
Operation steps
- Sign in to BCC Console and enter the Instance List page.
-
Choose different methods to reboot instances based on your needs.
- To reboot a single instance: Select the instance you wish to reboot and click More - Instance Status - Enable in the right operations bar, as shown in the following figure. Alternatively, select the instance and click "Reboot".

- To reboot multiple instances: Select the instances you wish to reboot and click "Reboot" at the top, as shown in the following figure.

-
In the reboot dialog, select Reboot or Forced Reboot, then click OK.
- Reboot: Perform a normal reboot.
- Forced reboot: May cause the loss of data not written to the disk in the instance's OS.
