==========================================================
 Servers - run an administrative action (servers, action)
==========================================================

Enables administrators to perform an action on a server. Specify the
action in the request body.

You can inject network information into, migrate, live-migrate,
reset networking on, reset the state of a server,
and evacuate a server from a failed host to a new host.


Inject Network Information (injectNetworkInfo Action)
=====================================================

.. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action

Injects network information into a server.

Specify the ``injectNetworkInfo`` action in the request body.

Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to
perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions
through the ``policy.json`` file.

.. warning:: There is very limited support on this API, For more information,
             see `nova virt support matrix
             <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/support-matrix.html>`__

Normal response codes: 202

Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404), conflict(409)

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

  - server_id: server_id_path
  - injectNetworkInfo: injectNetworkInfo

**Example Inject Network Information (injectNetworkInfo Action)**

.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-admin-actions/admin-actions-inject-network-info.json
   :language: javascript

Response
--------

If successful, this method does not return content in the response body.


Migrate Server (migrate Action)
===============================

.. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action

Migrates a server to a host.

Specify the ``migrate`` action in the request body.

Up to microversion 2.55, the scheduler chooses the host.
Starting from microversion 2.56, the ``host`` parameter is available
to specify the destination host. If you specify ``null`` or don't specify
this parameter, the scheduler chooses a host.

**Asynchronous Postconditions**

A successfully migrated server shows a ``VERIFY_RESIZE`` status and ``finished``
migration status. If the cloud has configured the `resize_confirm_window`_
option of the Compute service to a positive value, the Compute service
automatically confirms the migrate operation after the configured interval.

.. _resize_confirm_window: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.resize_confirm_window

Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to
perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions
through the ``policy.json`` file.

Normal response codes: 202

Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403)
itemNotFound(404), conflict(409)

Request
-------

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml

  - server_id: server_id_path
  - migrate: migrate
  - host: host_migration_2_56

**Example Migrate Server (migrate Action) (v2.1)**

.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-migrate-server/migrate-server.json
   :language: javascript

**Example Migrate Server (migrate Action) (v2.56)**

.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-migrate-server/v2.56/migrate-server.json
   :language: javascript

Response
--------

If successful, this method does not return content in the response body.


Live-Migrate Server (os-migrateLive Action)
===========================================

.. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action

Live-migrates a server to a new host without rebooting.

Specify the ``os-migrateLive`` action in the request body.

Use the ``host`` parameter to specify the destination host. If
this param is ``null``, the scheduler chooses a host. If a scheduled host
is not suitable to do migration, the scheduler tries up to
``migrate_max_retries`` rescheduling attempts.

Starting from API version 2.25, the ``block_migration`` parameter could be
to ``auto`` so that nova can decide value of block_migration during live
migration.

Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to
perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions
through the ``policy.json`` file.

Starting from REST API version 2.34 pre-live-migration checks are done
asynchronously, results of these checks are available in ``instance-actions``.
Nova responds immediately, and no pre-live-migration checks are returned.
The instance will not immediately change state to ``ERROR``, if a failure of
the live-migration checks occurs.

Starting from API version 2.68, the ``force`` parameter is no longer accepted
as this could not be meaningfully supported by servers with complex resource
allocations.

Normal response codes: 202

Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403)
itemNotFound(404), conflict(409)

If successful, this method does not return content in the response body.


Reset Networking On A Server (resetNetwork Action) (DEPRECATED)
===============================================================

.. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action

Resets networking on a server.

.. warning::

   This action was only supported by the XenAPI virt driver, which was
   deprecated in the 20.0.0 (Train) release and removed in the 22.0.0
   (Victoria) release.  This action should be avoided in new applications. It
   was removed in the 23.0.0 (Wallaby) release.

Specify the ``resetNetwork`` action in the request body.

Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to
perform this operation. Cloud providers can change these permissions
through the ``policy.json`` file.

Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403), itemNotFound(404),
conflict(409), gone(410)
