Restarting an instance performs a hard reboot and stops all running processes on your server before starting them again. Restarting does not alter the instance data or file system and enables the application of updates or configuration changes that require a reboot.
Follow this guide to restart a Vultr Bare Metal instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, API, or CLI.

request to the List Bare Metal Instances endpoint and note the target instance's ID.

Send a POST
