Virtual Machines

In the Virtual Machines (VMs) page, you can view a list of virtual machines created in the selected project. This list includes general specifications of the machines, and various operations can be performed on them. VMs: vms list

Virtual Machine Overview

By clicking on any of the machines, you will be redirected to the machine’s overview page. For more information, refer to the Overview document. VM: overview

Machine Operations

Various operations are available for machines, which will be explained below.

Turn On/Off Virtual Machine: Turning off or on a virtual machine is similar to powering off or on a physical computer; the operating system shuts down or starts naturally.
Power Off Virtual Machine: Powering off is equivalent to an abrupt shutdown without the natural shutdown process, which may lead to data or operating system damage.
Restart Machine: Restarting a virtual machine causes the operating system to reboot without fully shutting down and restarting the virtual machine.

⚠️

Note!

Note that some operations require the machine to be in a specific state (on or off). If this condition is not met, the operation cannot be performed.

Off Condition: Operations such as Delete and Resize
On Condition: Operations such as Restart and Power Off

ℹ️

Creating Jobs Corresponding to Each Operation

Each operation performed on a machine creates a corresponding job that indicates the status of the operation. An operation is considered successful only when its job completes successfully and reaches the Success status. You can view the status of jobs through the machine’s job list: VMs: jobs btn Users can filter the job list (at the project level) based on execution status or resource type using the following filters:

Task Status

You can select one of the following statuses to display only jobs with a specific status:

All: Displays all jobs regardless of execution status
Failed: Displays jobs that have not completed or encountered an error
Pending: Jobs that have not yet started
Running: Jobs currently in progress
Success: Jobs that have completed successfully

Resource Type

Using this filter, you can limit the resource type associated with jobs:

All
Virtual Machine
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Disk
Backup
Subnet
Project
Snapshot
Backup Rules
Floating IP
Interface

Accessing the Console

To open the machine’s console, click on the Console icon to open the console window: VMs: console

Turning On/Off the Machine

To turn on/off the machine, click on the Turn On/Off icon.
For turning on, the system proceeds without requiring user confirmation. However, for turning off, a confirmation dialog opens, and if you are sure about the operation, click the Shut Down button in the opened dialog.
Upon successful completion of the corresponding job, the machine’s status changes to Off/On.

To view other operations, click on the three-dot button in the Operations column to display a list of operations:

VMs: options

Restart

To restart the machine, click on the Restart icon.
If you are sure about the operation, click the Restart button.
Upon successful completion of the corresponding job, the machine’s status changes to On.

Rename

To change the machine’s name, click on the Edit Name option.
In the opened dialog, enter a valid and unique name and click the Edit Name button.

Resize

First, ensure the machine is turned off.
To resize the machine, click on the Resize option.
In the opened dialog, select the new machine size and click the Resize button.

Power Off

First, ensure the machine is turned on.
To power off the machine, click on the Power Off option.
If you are sure about the operation, click the Power Off Machine button in the opened dialog.
Upon successful completion of the corresponding job, the machine’s status changes to off.

Delete

First, ensure the machine is turned off.
To delete the machine, click on the Delete option.
If you are sure about the operation, enter the machine’s name as confirmation for deletion and click Delete.
Upon successful completion of the corresponding job, the machine will be removed from the list of machines. From this section, you can also delete detachable disks connected to this machine or exclude them from this operation.

Operations on Multiple Machines

It is possible to apply all the above operations to multiple machines as a group. This capability will be explained below.

Batch Machine Operations

For ease of performing operations on multiple machines, all the above operations are available through the Batch Operations option. First, select one or more machines. After selecting the machine(s), the Batch Operations buttons will become active:

💡

Possible Operations

Note that when multiple machines are selected, only operations that are possible for all selected machines will be displayed in the list. In other words, possible operations are those for which all selected machines have the same status. For example, if a turned-on machine and a turned-off machine are selected, the Turn Off and Turn On operations will be disabled because the machines do not have the same status, and neither operation is possible for both machines.

By clicking on any of the options, the selected operation will be applied to all chosen machines, and the steps for performing them are consistent with those described for a single machine in the Machine Operations section.
