What is initialisation?
Initialisation resets the disk space and template of the Cloud VPS OpenStack. This is an irreversible operation that permanently deletes all data stored on the Cloud VPS OpenStack and restores it to its original configuration. You can only perform this operation when the Cloud VPS OpenStack is switched off and there is no active snapshot.
What is retained during initialisation?
During initialisation, the type of Cloud VPS OpenStack and the size (vCPU/RAM/HD) configured when the initialisation is requested are retained. You cannot change the type of Cloud VPS OpenStack, switching from Cloud VPS OpenStack Starter to Cloud VPS OpenStack or vice versa. The public IP address assigned to the Cloud VPS OpenStack remains unchanged. Any
scheduled operations associated with the Cloud VPS OpenStack remain active. Any
load balancers connected to the Cloud VPS OpenStack must be reconnected after initialisation. You may need to reconfigure any
monitoring checks. If you have installed a
Plesk licence on the Cloud VPS OpenStack, it must be reinstalled after initialisation.
