We remind you that initializing is irreversible, in fact all the data found in the Cloud VPS will be permanently deleted.
The initialization consists in resetting the disk space and the template of the Cloud VPS. This operation can only be performed with the Cloud VPS switched off and snapshots disabled.
What does the initialization change:
The system will maintain the hypervisor and the size (vCPU/RAM/HD) set when the initialization request is submitted, not that which is chosen when creating the Cloud VPS. The public IP address assigned to the Cloud VPS will remain the same. Any
scheduled tasks associated with the Cloud VPS will remain active. Any
balancers connected to the Cloud VPS will need to be reconnected following the initialization. You may need to reconfigure the
monitoring settings. If
Plesk licenses have been installed in the Cloud VPS, these will need to be installed again following the initialization.
