Rescue mode is necessary in case your instance's file system becomes corrupted.
Activate Rescue Mode for the Virtual Machine so that you can repair the damaged file system.
Note: The rescue mode VM will be setup with the same network configuration as the real VM and a new root password is generated. Additionally, the new VM will have the primary file system as the rescue image, and the secondary file system will be the primary file system of the original VM.
- To turn on "Rescue Mode" you need to go to the Client Area "Services" -> Your Service -> "Rescue Instance"
- Click Save Instance to enter Rescue Mode
- Retention mode is on for this VM. It also lists your new root/admin password, which you need to save.
- Next to the server information, you will see that the Server status is "Rescue". If you want to stop the Rescue Mode, then click on " Turn off Rescue Mode "
- In the next step, confirm that you want to turn off Recovery Mode.
- You will receive a notification that your VM is not in Rescue Mode.
