--image-property <key=value>

Create server using the image that matches the specified property. Property must match exactly one property.

--volume <volume>

Create server using this volume as the boot disk (name or ID) This option automatically creates a block device mapping with a boot index of 0. On many hypervisors (libvirt/kvm for example) this will be device vda. Do not create a duplicate mapping using --block-device- mapping for this volume.

--boot-from-volume <volume-size>

When used in conjunction with the ``--image`` or ``--image-property`` option, this option automatically creates a block device mapping with a boot index of 0 and tells the compute service to create a volume of the given size (in GB) from the specified image and use it as the root disk of the server. The root volume will not be deleted when the server is deleted. This option is mutually exclusive with the ``--volume`` and ``--snapshot`` options.

Block device mapping in the format <dev-name>=<id>:<type>:<size(GB)>:<delete-on- terminate> <dev-name>: block device name, like: vdb, xvdc (required) <id>: Name or ID of the volume, volume snapshot or image (required) <type>: volume, snapshot or image; default: volume (optional) <size(GB)>: volume size if create from image or snapshot (optional) <delete-on-terminate>: true or false; default: false (optional) Replaced by --block-device

--block-device

Create a block device on the server. Either a path to a JSON file or a CSV-serialized string describing the block device mapping.

Create a nic on the server and connect it to port. Specify option multiple times to create multiple NICs. This is a wrapper for the --nic port-id=<port> parameter that provides simple syntax for the standard use case of connecting a new server to a given port. For more advanced use cases, refer to the --nic parameter.

--nic <net-id=net-uuid,port-id=port-uuid,v4-fixed-ip=ip-addr,v6-fixed-ip=ip-addr,tag=tag,auto,none>

Create a nic on the server. NIC in the format: net-id=<net-uuid>: attach NIC to network with this UUID, port-id=<port-uuid>: attach NIC to port with this UUID, v4-fixed-ip=<ip-addr>: IPv4 fixed address for NIC (optional), v6-fixed-ip=<ip-addr>: IPv6 fixed address for NIC (optional), tag: interface metadata tag (optional) (supported by --os-compute-api-version 2.43 or above), none: (v2.37+) no network is attached, auto: (v2.37+) the compute service will automatically allocate a network. Specify option multiple times to create multiple NICs. Specifying a --nic of auto or none cannot be used with any other --nic value. Either net-id or port-id must be provided, but not both.

72.11. server evacuate

Evacuate a server to a different host. This command is used to recreate a server after the host it was on has failed. It can only be used if the compute service that manages the server is down.

If the server instance was created with an ephemeral root disk on non-shared storage the server will be rebuilt using the original glance image preserving the ports and any attached data volumes. If the server uses boot for volume or has its root disk on shared storage the root disk will be preserved and reused for the evacuated instance on the new host.

72.23. server migrate

Migrate server to different host. A migrate operation is implemented as a resize operation using the same flavor as the old server. This means that, like resize, migrate works by creating a new server using the same flavor and copying the contents of the original disk into a new one. As with resize, the migrate operation is a two-step process for the user: the first step is to perform the migrate, and the second step is to either confirm (verify) success and release the old server, or to declare a revert to release the new server and restart the old one.

Usage:

openstack server migrate [-h] [--live-migration] [--host <hostname>]
                                [--shared-migration | --block-migration]

72.46. server shelve

Shelve and optionally offload server(s). Shelving a server creates a snapshot of the server and stores this snapshot before shutting down the server. This shelved server can then be offloaded or deleted from the host, freeing up remaining resources on the host, such as network interfaces. Shelved servers can be unshelved, restoring the server from the snapshot. Shelving is therefore useful where users wish to retain the UUID and IP of a server, without utilizing other resources or disks. Most clouds are configured to automatically offload shelved servers immediately or after a small delay. For clouds where this is not configured, or where the delay is larger, offloading can be manually specified. This is an admin-only operation by default.

Usage:

openstack server shelve [-h] [--offload] [--wait]
                               <server> [<server> ...]
