Reset the site instance to remove the database and the file system of a non-production site instance. This action makes a new Drupal installation. It keeps the machine name so that you can use it again immediately. It also keeps the connection between the site and the site instance.

Important

A site instance reset is permanent. You cannot recover the data automatically. Make sure that you have a backup before you start the procedure.

Prerequisites

Your role must include the Reset data for non-production sites permission in the MEO permission group.
The site instance must reside in a non-production environment.
The site instance must not have protection mode enabled.
The site instance must not have an in-progress deployment running.

Resetting an associated site instance

To reset an associated site instance:

Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.
Go to Codebases.
Select the environment that contains the site instance.
Locate the site instance and select its name.
Select Reset data.
Review the confirmation dialog box and acknowledge the permanent data loss.
Select Confirm.
The system resets the database and files, and recreates a clean Drupal installation.

Reassociating a dissociated site instance without data

If a site instance is dissociated, for example, after site deletion in the recovery window, reset its data and reassociate it immediately:

Go to the environment that contains the dissociated site instance.
Locate the disassociated site instance.
Select Reassociate without data.
Confirm the action.
The system purges the data and reassociates the instance with the site.

Note

Alternatively, restore the site instance with its data first, and then perform the reset using the previously described associated workflow.

Site reset hooks

Cloud Hooks can run before and after a site reset operation. These hooks let you perform tasks such as back up data before a reset or re-initialize configurations after a reset completes.
