Evacuate Server (evacuate Action)
=================================

.. rest_method:: POST /servers/{server_id}/action

Evacuates a server from a failed host to a new host.

- Specify the ``evacuate`` action in the request body.
- In the request body, if ``onSharedStorage`` is set, then do not set ``adminPass``.
- The target host should not be the same as the instance host.

**Preconditions**

- The failed host must be fenced and no longer running the original server.
- The failed host must be reported as down or marked as forced down using
  `Update Forced Down`_.

Starting from API version 2.68, the ``force`` parameter is no longer accepted
as this could not be meaningfully supported by servers with complex resource
allocations.

Normal response codes: 200

Error response codes: badRequest(400), unauthorized(401), forbidden(403),
itemNotFound(404), conflict(409)
