Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions to common issues you may encounter when using the platform.

VM Deployment Issues

Insufficient Credits

If you receive an “Insufficient Credits” error during deployment:

1

Check Current Balance

Navigate to your account page to check your current credit balance

2

Purchase Additional Credits

Add credits to your account through the account page payment section

3

Verify Minimum Requirements

Ensure you meet minimum balance requirements:

  • USD: $1.00
  • EUR: €1.00
  • INR: ₹100.00
4

Retry Deployment

Return to the deployment page and try again

Resource Availability

If your selected GPU type or count is unavailable in the region:

Try Different Regions

  • Switch to NORWAY-1, CANADA-1, or US-1
  • Check availability in multiple regions
  • Consider latency impact of region choice
  • All regions offer the same GPU types

SSH Connection Failures

If you can’t connect to your VM via SSH:

SSH Connection Command Reference

# Basic SSH connection
ssh -i /path/to/your-private-key.pem ubuntu@your-vm-ip

# SSH with verbose output for debugging
ssh -v -i /path/to/your-private-key.pem ubuntu@your-vm-ip

# SSH with specific port (if not 22)
ssh -i /path/to/your-private-key.pem -p 2222 ubuntu@your-vm-ip

# Set correct permissions on private key
chmod 600 /path/to/your-private-key.pem

Firewall Issues

Rule Not Taking Effect

If your firewall rules aren’t working as expected:

1

Wait for Propagation

Rules may take up to 10 minutes to fully apply after creation or modification

2

Verify Rule Configuration

Check the rule configuration:

  • Correct protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP)
  • Proper port ranges
  • Accurate IP address ranges in CIDR notation
  • Correct direction (Ingress/Egress)
3

Check Firewall Attachment

Ensure the firewall is properly attached to the VM:

  • Verify attachment in firewall management
  • Check VM status is ACTIVE
  • Confirm firewall is in SUCCESS state
4

Test Connectivity

Test the specific connection:

  • Use telnet to test port connectivity
  • Check application logs for connection attempts
  • Verify from both source and destination

Cannot Delete Firewall

If you’re unable to delete a firewall:

Detach First

Standard Procedure

  • Detach the firewall from all VMs first
  • Verify no active attachments remain
  • Check attachment status in firewall details
  • Wait for detachment to complete

Force Delete

Alternative Method

  • Use force delete option if available
  • Contact support for stuck firewalls
  • Check for hidden or failed attachments
  • Verify firewall is not in transitional state

Volume Issues

Volume Attachment Failures

If you can’t attach a volume to a VM:

Verify VM Readiness

  • Ensure VM is in ACTIVE state
  • Check VM is not undergoing other operations
  • Verify VM has completed initial setup
  • Ensure VM is not hibernated or suspended

Volume Detachment Issues

If you can’t detach a volume:

Volume Creation Problems

If you’re having trouble creating a volume:

1

Size Validation

Verify you have entered a valid size:

  • Size must be a positive integer
2

Name Uniqueness

Ensure you’re using a unique volume name:

  • Check existing volumes in all regions
  • Volume names must be unique across your account
  • Use descriptive, meaningful names
  • Follow naming conventions (letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, underscores, periods)
3

OS Image Selection

For bootable volumes, confirm you’ve selected a valid OS image:

  • Choose from available images in your region
  • Verify image compatibility with volume size
  • Check regional image availability
  • Ensure image is not deprecated or unavailable
4

Account Requirements

Check that you have sufficient credits for storage allocation:

  • Verify minimum credit balance
  • Ensure account profile is complete
  • Check payment method validity
  • Review storage cost implications

Snapshot and Image Issues

  • Wait for any ongoing operations to complete

Account Validation

Account Requirements

  • Ensure you have a unique name for the snapshot
  • Check sufficient credits for snapshot storage
  • Verify account profile is complete
  • Ensure no naming conflicts exist
