Host States Reference

This page is a complete reference of all the Host states that will be useful for developers and administrators doing troubleshooting.

The simplified life-cycle is explained in the Hosts guide. This simplified diagram uses a smaller number of state names. That section should be enough for end users and everyday administration tasks.

List of States

OpenNebula’s Hosts define their state using the STATE variable. The state can be seen from the CLI (onehost show) and from Sunstone (Info panel for Hosts).
