Warning
The os-hosts
API is deprecated as of the 2.43 microversion. Requests
made with microversion >= 2.43 will result in a 404 error. To list and show
host details, use the :ref:`os-hypervisors` API. To enable or disable a
service, use the :ref:`os-services` API. There is no replacement for the
shutdown, startup, reboot, or maintenance_mode actions as those are
system-level operations which should be outside of the control of the
compute service.
Manages physical hosts. Some virt drivers do not support all host functions. For more information, see nova virt support matrix
Policy defaults enable only users with the administrative role to perform
all os-hosts related operations. Cloud providers can change these permissions
through the policy.json
file.
.. rest_method:: GET /os-hosts
Lists hosts.
Normal response codes: 200
Error response codes: unauthorized(401), forbidden(403)
.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - hosts: hosts - zone: host_zone - host_name: host_name_body - service: host_service
Example List Hosts
.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-hosts/hosts-list-resp.json :language: javascript
.. rest_method:: GET /os-hosts/{host_name}
Shows details for a host.

Example Show Host Details
.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-hosts/host-get-resp.json :language: javascript
.. rest_method:: PUT /os-hosts/{host_name}
Enables, disables a host or put a host in maintenance or normal mode.
Warning
Putting a host into maintenance mode is only implemented by the XenServer compute driver and it has been reported that it does not actually evacuate all of the guests from the host, it just sets a flag in the Xen management console, and is therefore useless. There are other APIs that allow you to do the same thing which are supported across all compute drivers, which would be disabling a service and then migrating the instances off that host. See the Operations Guide for more information on maintenance.

.. rest_parameters:: parameters.yaml - host: host_name_body - status: host_status_body - maintenance_mode: host_maintenance_mode
Example Enable Host
.. literalinclude:: ../../doc/api_samples/os-hosts/host-put-maintenance-resp.json :language: javascript
.. rest_method:: GET /os-hosts/{host_name}/reboot
Reboots a host.
Warning
This is only supported by the XenServer and Hyper-v drivers. The backing drivers do no orchestration of dealing with guests in the nova database when performing a reboot of the host. The nova-compute service for that host may be temporarily disabled by the service group health check which would take it out of scheduling decisions, and the guests would be down, but the periodic task which checks for unexpectedly stopped instances runs in the nova-compute service, which might be dead now so the nova API would show the instances as running when in fact they are actually stopped. This API is also not tested in a live running OpenStack environment. Needless to say, it is not recommended to use this API and it is deprecated as of the 2.43 microversion.

Shuts down a host.

Starts a host.
Warning
This is not implemented by any in-tree compute drivers and therefore will always fail with a 501 NotImplemented error. Needless to say, it is not recommended to use this API and it is deprecated as of the 2.43 microversion.
