The following section list known issues and workarounds for AI Hypercomputer.
The metadata server might display old physicalHost
VM metadata
After experiencing a host error
or
using the report faulty host API
to
move an instance to a new host, when you query the metadata server
,
it might display the physicalHost
metadata of the instance's previous host.
To workaround this issue, do one of the following:
- Use the
instances.getmethod or thegcloud compute instances describecommand to retrieve the correctphysicalHostinformation. - Stop and then start
your
instance. This process updates the
physicalHostinformation in the metadata server. - Wait 24 hours for the impacted instance's
physicalHostinformation to be updated.
