Blibs Status List

Our intuitive status system provides easy management of your GPU Server Blibs. Servers transition between statuses – currently at status A, and moving towards status B – allowing for seamless operation and control.

Possible statuses:

• Running: The Blib is actively processing tasks and is accessible.
• Stopped: The Blib is powered off and no longer incurring charges.
• Terminated: The Blib has been permanently removed, resulting in data loss.
• Frozen: The Blib is paused, preserving its state and data for quick resumption.
• Restarting: The Blib is in the process of powering on after being stopped or frozen.
• Migrated: The Blib is being moved to different hardware; this process may take some time.

Q&A about status system

Why do A100 servers sometimes take longer to resume from a frozen state compared to other server types?

A100 servers are equipped with substantial ECC Video RAM. Upon resuming from a frozen state, a rigorous diagnostic test is performed on this memory to ensure data integrity and system stability. While this test is essential, it can occasionally result in a longer resume time.

How to minimize startup time of frozen servers?

The most efficient method for minimizing startup times is to stop the server instance rather than freeze it. Please note that freezing a server will incur a brief delay before it becomes available again or even a migration of the server is needed which changes ports and takes extra time.
