Maintenance, reboot, and power off
Reboot and power off are on the Maintenance tab of the server card and require full agent permissions. A maintenance window is announced to the marketplace from the Marketplace tab.
Announce the window first
Section titled “Announce the window first”Before planned work, set a maintenance window: on the Marketplace tab, select Vast.ai in the marketplace table and press Schedule maintenance under it. Clore.ai has no maintenance windows; hide the offer from search instead.
During the window, the listing becomes unavailable; new rentals are paused 2 hours before the start, and clients receive a notification. Running rentals are allowed to finish. Pricing rules exclude a server under maintenance.
Specify the start, the end, the category (gpu, power, internet, disk, software,
or other), and the reason. For example: “Replacing thermal pads on GPU 3 and 6”.
The reason is visible to clients.
The start must be no earlier than the current time and no later than 90 days ahead. The maximum duration is 24 hours. For longer work, take down the listing.
Reboot
Section titled “Reboot”All processes on the server stop. After the OS boots, the agent service starts automatically and resumes data transmission.
Command completion is confirmed after the agent reconnects. The wait time is up to 15 minutes.
Power off
Section titled “Power off”The server shuts down and stays off.
Restrictions
Section titled “Restrictions”Flotera blocks commands that could interrupt a rental or conflict with listing availability. For example:
- with an active rental on Vast.ai, wait for it to end or stop it on the marketplace;
- if the server is listed on Clore.ai, remove it from search first.
The panel explains what you need to do before running the command.
If a command is waiting because of a rental or a published listing, resolve the stated cause first. Flotera checks again automatically. If the command expires, submit it again after preparing the server.
Confirming the action
Section titled “Confirming the action”Before the operation, the panel shows the consequences and the recovery method, then asks you to confirm the server name. Check the name before sending the command.
