Description
Instance Status
Creating
Intermediate state
A Bare-metal is in this state after you request for the BMS and before it enters the running state. If a BMS remains in this state for a long time, exceptions will occur. Contact the operation administrator to handle the exceptions.
Creating
Starting
Intermediate state
It is an intermediate state between Stopped and Running. If a BMS remains in this state for a long time, exceptions will occur. Contact the operation administrator to handle the exceptions.
SHUTOFF
Running
Stable state
A BMS is in this state when it is running properly. A BMS in this state can be used normally.
ACTIVE
Stopping
Intermediate state
It is an intermediate state between Running and Stopped. If a BMS remains in this state for a long time, exceptions will occur. Contact the operation administrator to handle the exceptions.
ACTIVE
Stopped
Stable state
A BMS is in this state after it is stopped successfully. A BMS in this state cannot be used.
SHUTOFF
Restarting
Intermediate state
A BMS is in this state when it is being restarted. If a BMS remains in this state for a long time, exceptions will occur. Contact the operation administrator to handle the exceptions.
REBOOT
Forcibly restarting
Intermediate state
A BMS is in this state when it is being forcibly restarted.
HARD REBOOT
Deleting
Intermediate state

Deleted
Intermediate state
A BMS is in this state after it is deleted successfully. A BMS in this state cannot be used and will be removed from the system in a short time.
DELETED
Faulty
Stable state
