Starting, Stopping, or Deleting a Notebook Instance

This topic describes how to start, stop, and delete a notebook instance.

Constraints

If a dedicated resource pool node is set as a hot standby node, it cannot run notebook instances, such as creating or starting notebook instances. For details about how to disable hot standby nodes, see Rectifying a Faulty Node in a Dedicated Resource Pool.

Starting or Stopping a Notebook Instance

Stop the notebook instances that are not needed. You can also restart a stopped instance.

  1. Log in to the ModelArts console and perform the following operations as required:
    • New console: Choose Model Build > Notebook.
    • Old console: Choose Development Workspace > Notebook.
  2. Start or stop the target notebook instance.

    After a notebook instance is stopped:

    • Data in the /home/ma-user/work directory and directories dynamically mounted to /data is saved. Data in other directories will be deleted. For example, the external dependency packages installed in other directories in the development environment will be deleted. Save your development environment settings as an image. For details, see Saving a Notebook Instance.
    • The notebook instance will no longer be billed. If the instance has an EVS disk attached, the storage space will still be billed.
    • Starting a notebook instance

      Only stopped notebook instances can be started.

      1. Click Start in the Operation column.
      2. In the displayed dialog box, select a web IDE and set auto stop as required, and click OK.
    • Automatically stopping a notebook instance

      Only running notebook instances can be automatically stopped.

      Enable this feature to set an auto-stop method and duration. The instance automatically stops once the threshold is exceeded. (There may be a 2–5 minute delay, which is billed normally.)

      1. In the Operation column, choose More > Set Auto Stop.
      2. In the Lease Notebook Instance dialog box, select Auto Stop, set the stop method and duration as required, read the message, and click OK.

Deleting a Notebook Instance

Delete the notebook instances that are not needed. Deleted notebook instances cannot be recovered. Exercise caution. After a notebook instance is deleted, the data stored in the mounted directory will be deleted.

  1. Log in to the ModelArts console and perform the following operations as required:
    • New console: Choose Model Build > Notebook.
    • Old console: Choose Development Workspace > Notebook.
  2. In the notebook list, locate the target notebook instance, and choose More > Delete in the Operation column. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the information, enter DELETE, and click OK.
