DESCRIPTION

Performs one of the following power actions on the specified instance:

•   START - Powers on the instance.

•   STOP - Powers off the instance.

•   RESET - Powers off the instance and then powers it back on.

•   SOFTSTOP - Gracefully shuts down the instance by sending a shutdown command to the operating system. After waiting 15 minutes for the OS to shut down, the instance is powered off. If the applications that run on the instance take more than 15 minutes to shut down, they could be improperly stopped, resulting in data corruption. To avoid this, manually shut down the instance using the commands available in the OS before you softstop the instance.

•   SOFTRESET - Gracefully reboots the instance by sending a shutdown command to the operating system. After waiting 15 minutes for the OS to shut down, the instance is powered off and then powered back on.

•   SENDDIAGNOSTICINTERRUPT - For advanced users. Warning: Sending a diagnostic interrupt to a live system can cause data corruption or system failure. Sends a diagnostic interrupt that causes the instance’s OS to crash and then reboot. Before you send a diagnostic interrupt, you must configure the instance to generate a crash dump file when it crashes. The crash dump captures information about the state of the OS at the time of the crash. After the OS restarts, you can analyze the crash dump to diagnose the issue. For more information, see Sending a Diagnostic Interrupt <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Compute/Tasks/sendingdiagnosticinterrupt.htm>.

•   DIAGNOSTICREBOOT - Powers off the instance, rebuilds it on the physical host, and then powers it back on. Before you send a diagnostic reboot, restart the instance’s OS, confirm that the instance and networking settings are configured correctly, and try other troubleshooting steps <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Compute/References/troubleshooting-compute-instances.htm>. Use diagnostic reboot as a final attempt to troubleshoot an unreachable instance. For virtual machine (VM) instances only. For more information, see Performing a Diagnostic Reboot <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Compute/Tasks/diagnostic-reboot.htm>.

    For more information about managing instance lifecycle states, see Stopping and Starting an Instance <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Compute/Tasks/restartinginstance.htm>.

USAGE

oci compute instance instance-action-soft-reset-action-details [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

--action [text]

    The action to perform on the instance. Allowed values are: STOP, START, SOFTRESET, RESET, SOFTSTOP, SENDDIAGNOSTICINTERRUPT, DIAGNOSTICREBOOT

--instance-id [text]

    The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the instance.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

--allow-dense-reboot-migration [boolean]

    For instances with a date in the Maintenance reboot field, the flag denoting whether reboot migration is enabled for instances that use the DenseIO shape. The default value is ‘false’.

--from-json [text]

    Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

    The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

    Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

    For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--if-match [text]

    For optimistic concurrency control. In the PUT or DELETE call for a resource, set the if-match parameter to the value of the etag from a previous GET or POST response for that resource. The resource will be updated or deleted only if the etag you provide matches the resource’s current etag value.

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

    The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--wait-for-state [text]

    This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

    Accepted values are:

    CREATING_IMAGE, MOVING, PROVISIONING, RUNNING, STARTING, STOPPED, STOPPING, TERMINATED, TERMINATING

--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

    Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource to see if it has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

Use oci --help for help on global parameters.

--auth-purpose, --auth, --cert-bundle, --cli-auto-prompt, --cli-rc-file, --config-file, --debug, --defaults-file, --endpoint, --generate-full-command-json-input, --generate-param-json-input, --help, --latest-version, --max-retries, --no-retry, --opc-client-request-id, --opc-request-id, --output, --profile, --query, --raw-output, --region, --release-info, --request-id, --version, -?, -d, -h, -i, -v

EXAMPLES

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm#configfile> and appropriate security policies <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm> before trying the examples.
