Start a Cloud GPU VM
Starting a Cloud GPU VM powers on the instance and makes it operational. While the DCD starts newly created VMs automatically, you can use this operation to restart a stopped VM. Once the VM starts, the resources are allocated, billing resumed, and a public IP address assigned if previously configured.
To start a Cloud GPU VM, follow these steps:
1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Virtual Data Centers.
2. Select the data center where the Cloud GPU VM is configured.
3. Select the respective Cloud GPU VM in the Workspace.
4. On the Inspector pane, select Power > Start.
Start the Cloud GPU VM
5. Select Apply START in the Power State dialog.
6. Select PROVISION CHANGES.
7. In the Provision Data Center dialog, select Confirm.
8. In the Confirm Starting and Stopping of Servers dialog, enter your Password, and select OK.

9. In the Provision Data Center dialog, select Provision Now.
Provision the changes
Result: The DCD displays a Provisioning Complete notification once the Cloud GPU VM powers on. The Inspector pane shows the status as Running. If you enabled a public IP address, the system assigns the address and resumes billing.
The Cloud GPU VM transitions to Running status after a successful start
