ExtensionAttribute 
public static function ReimageRoleInstanceByDeploymentName (
    operations : IDeploymentOperations, 
    serviceName : String, 
    deploymentName : String, 
    roleInstanceName : String
) : OperationStatusResponse

Parameters

  • serviceName
    The name of the cloud service that contains the deployment.
  • deploymentName
    The name of deployment that contains the roles.
  • roleInstanceName
    The name of the role instance that should be reimaged.

Return Value

The ComputeOperationStatusResponse object that contains the status of the operation.

Remarks

If the asynchronous operation succeeds, the response includes the HTTP status code for the successful request. If the asynchronous operation failed, the response includes the HTTP status code for the failed request, and also includes error information about the failure.

For more information about reimaging a role instance, see Reimage Role Instance.

When the role instance is reimaged, the instance is taken offline and a fresh guest operating system image is applied. The role instance is then brought back online. Azure attempts to maintain data in any local storage resources when the role is reimaged; however, in case of a transient hardware failure, the local storage resource may be lost. If your application requires that this data be persisted, it is recommended that you write it to a durable data source, such as a Azure drive. Any data that is written to a local directory other than that defined by the local storage resource will be lost when the role is reimaged.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
