- DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances report-host-as-faultyis used to report ahost as faulty to start the repair process.- EXAMPLES
- To report a host as faulty for an instance named
, run:test-instancegcloudcomputeinstancesreport-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_SCHEDULEmust 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).
gcloudattempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloudprompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
property:compute/zonegcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloudcomputezoneslistTo unset the property, run:
gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
