Documentation

ACTIVE. The server is active. BUILD. The server has not finished the original build process. DELETED. The server is permanently deleted. ERROR. The server is in error. HARD_REBOOT. The server is hard rebooting. This is equivalent to pulling the power plug on a physical server, plugging it back in, and rebooting it. MIGRATING. The server is being migrated to a new host. PASSWORD. The password is being reset on the server. PAUSED. In a paused state, the state of the server is stored in RAM. A paused server continues to run in frozen state. REBOOT. The server is in a soft reboot state. A reboot command was passed to the operating system. REBUILD. The server is currently being rebuilt from an image. RESCUE. The server is in rescue mode. A rescue image is running with the original server image attached. RESIZE. Server is performing the differential copy of data that changed during its initial copy. Server is down for this stage. REVERT_RESIZE. The resize or migration of a server failed for some reason. The destination server is being cleaned up and the original source server is restarting. SHELVED: The server is in shelved state. Depending on the shelve offload time, the server will be automatically shelved offloaded. SHELVED_OFFLOADED: The shelved server is offloaded (removed from the compute host) and it needs unshelved action to be used again. SHUTOFF. The server is powered off and the disk image still persists. SOFT_DELETED. The server is marked as deleted but the disk images are still available to restore. SUSPENDED. The server is suspended, either by request or necessity. When you suspend a server, its state is stored on disk, all memory is written to disk, and the server is stopped. Suspending a server is similar to placing a device in hibernation and its occupied resource will not be freed but rather kept for when the server is resumed. If a server is infrequently used and the occupied resource needs to be freed to create other servers, it should be shelved. UNKNOWN. The state of the server is unknown. Contact your cloud provider. VERIFY_RESIZE. System is awaiting confirmation that the server is operational after a move or resize.
