This is one of the authorization options. More details on other options can be found [here](https://ispsystem.com/docs/b6c/developer-section/working-with-api/guide-to-ispsystem-software-api) out | json | Yes | Response type to expect sok | ok | Yes | Operation confirmation elid | 5203773 | Yes | Instance ID select_boot_from_iso | ffa4a7c1-9e36-49a1-8770-acfb2878141f | Yes | UUID of the image to be used. It is recommended to use an image with an ISO disk type zone | pub | Yes | Type of zone where the image is located. Available options: «own», «pub». Example of switching an Instance to Boot From ISO mode For example, we use the service: ![API - Interaction with Boot From ISO - 1](https://dx86q6oq7ry0e.cloudfront.net/uploads/blog/a54%40server-panel.net/2024/07/23/screenshot-from-2024-07-23-15-31-16_q50.jpg) and load the following image: ![API - Interaction with Boot From ISO - 2](https://dx86q6oq7ry0e.cloudfront.net/uploads/blog/a54%40server-panel.net/2024/07/24/screenshot-from-2024-07-24-09-35-25_q50.jpg) URL: https://api.zomro.com/ Method: POST Request body (Form-data): Parameter | Value ---|--- func | instances.fleio.boot_from_iso auth | 21fc199...c43f71 out | json sok | ok elid | 5203773 select_boot_from_iso | ffa4a7c1-9e36-49a1-8770-acfb2878141f zone | pub Here is an example of a request that can be made from the console: curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \ --form 'func="instances.fleio.boot_from_iso"' \ --form 'auth="d22467cab40fedf7674da126"' \ --form 'out="json"' \ --form 'elid="5203773"' \ --form 'sok="ok"' \ --form 'select_boot_from_iso="ffa4a7c1-9e36-49a1-8770-acfb2878141f"' \ --form 'zone="pub"' After executing the request, we see that the instance has switched to «Boot from ISO» mode. The confirmation of this is the result in the photo: ![API - Interaction with Boot From ISO - 3](https://dx86q6oq7ry0e.cloudfront.net/uploads/blog/a54%40server-panel.net/2024/07/24/screenshot-from-2024-07-24-09-40-15_q50.jpg) Also, if the sok parameter is not passed, the request will be executed in preview mode. By executing this request, you can get the available images for switching to boot from iso from the selected image. For example, let's execute the following request without the «sok» parameter: curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \ --form 'func="instances.fleio.boot_from_iso"' \ --form 'auth="d22467cab40fedf7674da126"' \ --form 'out="json"' \ --form 'elid="5203773"' We get the following response: { "doc": { ...

However, with «own» - it is available only to the owner of the image. ## **Exiting «Boot From ISO» Mode** ## Also, to exit the «Boot From ISO» mode, execute the following API request in the following format: URL: https://api.zomro.com/ Method: POST Request body (Form-data): Parameter | Example Value | Required Parameter | Value Description ---|---|---|--- func | instances.fleio.unrescue | Yes | Function to exit «Boot from ISO» mode auth | 21fc199...c43f71 | No | Session token.

Let's try to execute the following request in the console: curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \ --form 'func="instances.fleio.unrescue"' \ --form 'auth="0b31d69ab7b7b4839dfd6506"' \ --form 'out="json"' \ --form 'elid="5203773"' After executing the request, we see that the service is active: ![API - Interaction with Boot From ISO - 4](https://dx86q6oq7ry0e.cloudfront.net/uploads/blog/a54%40server-panel.net/2024/07/23/screenshot-from-2024-07-23-15-31-16_q50.jpg) We also suggest studying articles that may be useful for interacting with [Cloud VPS](https://zomro.com/vps) products using the API: * [_API - Creating a Service_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/462-api-creation-of-a-service) * [_API - Obtaining Information About Available Tariffs and Their Parameters_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/464-api-obtaining-information-about-available-tariffs-and-their-parameters) * [_API - Operation Start & Stop_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/468-api-operation-start-and-stop) * [_API - Operation Reboot_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/465-api-operation-reboot) * [_API - Operation Rebuild_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/466-api-operation-rebuild) * [_API - Operation Delete_](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/467-api-operation-delete) * [_API - Interaction with Image_](https://zomro.com/blog/faq/487-api-interaction-with-image) * [_API - Interaction with Backup Schedule_](https://zomro.com/blog/faq/486-api-interaction-with-backup-schedule) * [_API - Interaction with Rescue_](https://zomro.com/blog/faq/485-api-interacting-with-rescue) * [_API - Interaction with Backup_](https://zomro.com/blog/faq/482-api-interaction-with-backup) * [_API - Interaction with Snapshots_](https://zomro.com/blog/faq/483-api-interacting-with-snapshots) Similar articles: [Reliable adult hosting for your project](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/506-reliable-adult-hosting-for-your-project) [The 6 Different Types of Websites](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/186-6-razlichnyh-tipov-veb-sajtov) [Effective work in the terminal: how to create and use aliases in Linux](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/522-working-effectively-in-the-terminal-how-to-create-and-use-aliases-in-linux) [API - Interaction with Snapshots](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/483-api-interacting-with-snapshots) [What is a Dedicated Server - A Complete Guide](https://zomro.com/blog/articles/200-chto-takoe-vydelennyj-server-polnoe-rukovodstvo) [ Dedicated servers from €88.80/mon ](/dedicated-servers)
