.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR Reimage a Bare Metal Solution instance.

This call returns immediately, but the reimage operation may take several
minutes to complete. To check if the operation is complete, use the
\f5describe\fR command for the instance.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To reimage an instance called \f5\fImy\-instance\fR\fR in region
\f5\fIus\-central1\fR\fR with the OS image code \f5\fIRHEL9x\fR\fR, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha bms instances reimage my\-instance \e
    \-\-region=us\-central1 \-\-os\-image=RHEL9x
.RE

To set KMS key and ssh keys in order to connect the instance. Please use
corresponding flags:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha bms instances reimage my\-instance \e
    \-\-region=us\-central1 \-\-os\-image=RHEL9x \e
    \-\-ssh\-keys=ssh\-key\-1,ssh\-key\-2 \e
