    1. API Description

    Domain name for API request: cvm.tencentcloudapi.com.

    This API (ResetInstance) is used to reinstall the operating system on a specified instance.

    • If you have specified the parameter ImageId, use the specified image for reinstallation. Otherwise, perform reinstallation based on the image currently used by the instance.
    • The system disk will be formatted and reset. Ensure that there are no important files in the system disk.
    • If you do not specify a password, a random password will be sent via Message Center.
    • Currently, only instances with a system disk type of CLOUD_BASIC, CLOUD_PREMIUM, CLOUD_SSD, or CLOUD_BSSD are supported for implementing operating system switching through this API.
    • You can query the result of the instance operation by calling the API DescribeInstances. If the latest operation status (LatestOperationState) of the instance is SUCCESS, the operation is successful.

    A maximum of 10 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

    2. Input Parameters

    The following request parameter list only provides API request parameters and some common parameters. For the complete common parameter list, see Common Request Parameters.

    Parameter Name Required Type Description
    Action Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: ResetInstance.
    Version Yes String Common Params. The value used for this API: 2017-03-12.
    Region Yes String Common Params. For more information, please see the list of regions supported by the product.
    InstanceId Yes String Instance ID. To obtain the instance IDs, you can call DescribeInstances and look for InstanceId in the response.
    ImageId No String Specified effective image ID in the format of img-xxx. There are four types of images:
  • Public images
  • Custom images
  • Shared images
  • Marketplace images

  • You can obtain the available image IDs in the following ways:
  • for IDs of public images, custom images, and shared images, log in to the CVM console; for IDs of marketplace images, go to Cloud Marketplace.
  • Call the API DescribeImages and look for ImageId in the response.


  • Default value: current image.
    SystemDisk No SystemDisk Configurations of the system disk. For an instance whose system disk is a cloud disk, this parameter can be used to expand the system disk by specifying a new capacity after reinstallation. The system disk capacity can only be expanded but not shrunk. Reinstalling the system can only resize rather than changing the type of the system disk.
    LoginSettings No LoginSettings Login settings of the instance. You can use this parameter to set the login method, password, and key of the instance or keep the login settings of the original image. By default, a random password will be generated and sent to you via the Message Center.
    EnhancedService No EnhancedService Enhanced services. You can specify whether to enable services such as Cloud Security and Cloud Monitor through this parameter. If this parameter is not specified, Cloud Monitor and Cloud Security are enabled for public images by default, but not enabled for custom images and marketplace images by default. Instead, they use services retained in the images.
    HostName No String When reinstalling a system, you can modify an instance's hostname.
  • Period (.) and hyphen (-) should not be used as the first or last character of the hostname, and should not be used consecutively.

  • Windows instances: The hostname should contain 2 to 15 characters, including letters (case insensitive), digits, and hyphens (-), does not support periods (.), and should not be all digits.

  • Instances of other types (such as Linux instances): The hostname should contain 2 to 60 characters, including multiple periods (.), with each segment between periods considered as one section. Each section can contain letters (case insensitive), digits, and hyphens (-).
  • UserData No String User data provided to the instance. This parameter needs to be encoded in base64 format with the maximum size of 16 KB. For more information on how to get the value of this parameter, see the commands you need to execute on startup for Windows or Linux.

    3. Output Parameters

    Parameter Name Type Description
    RequestId String The unique request ID, generated by the server, will be returned for every request (if the request fails to reach the server for other reasons, the request will not obtain a RequestId). RequestId is required for locating a problem.
