How to reset error state of a instance into active in OpenStack env

Question

Hi everyone,

I launched an instance in OpenStack. I used this instance and it was working fine. But after sometime when I tried to use this instance again, it was in error state. What is the problem behind this? Can someone help me?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

There are some scenarios where some instances went to an error state. There are lots of reason behind this, may be network issue or security issue etc. But you can change your instance's error state into active state using below command.

$ nova reset-state –active {Instance_id}

Hope this is helpful.

Thank You
