NAME
gcloud compute instances report-host-as-faulty - report a host as faulty to start the repair process
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances report-host-as-faultyINSTANCE_NAME--disruption-schedule=DISRUPTION_SCHEDULE--fault-reasons=[behavior=BEHAVIOR],[description=DESCRIPTION][--async][--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances report-host-as-faulty is used to report ahost as faulty to start the repair process.
EXAMPLES
To report a host as faulty for an instance namedtest-instance, run:
gcloudcomputeinstancesreport-host-as-faultytest-instance--fault-reasons=behavior=SILENT_DATA_CORRUPTION,description="affecting our ML job"--disruption-schedule=IMMEDIATE
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, referto the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
REQUIRED FLAGS
--disruption-schedule=DISRUPTION_SCHEDULE
Specifies the timing for initiating the fault reporting process. The defaultvalue is IMMEDIATE which initiates the process right away.DISRUPTION_SCHEDULE must be one of:IMMEDIATE,FUTURE.
--fault-reasons=[behavior=BEHAVIOR],[description=DESCRIPTION]
Specified and can include one or more of the following types:['BEHAVIOR_UNSPECIFIED', 'PERFORMANCE', 'SILENT_DATA_CORRUPTION','UNRECOVERABLE_GPU_ERROR']. This helps categorize the nature of the fault beingreported.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a zone (interactive mode only).gcloud attempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloud prompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands:--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.

Run$gcloud help for details.
