--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.

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. This command should only be used by an admin after they have confirmed that the instance is not running on the failed host.

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.

server migrate

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.

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.

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

Remove the shelved server(s) from the host (admin only). Invoking this option on an unshelved server(s) will result in the server being shelved first
