This topic describes how to start and stop a compute node. If your compute node is a pay-as-you-go ECS instance, you can start the node before you run a job and stop the node after you stop the job. This helps you save costs.
Prerequisites
The node is a compute node.
Start a compute node
Log on to the Elastic High Performance Computing (E-HPC) console.
In the top navigation bar, select a region.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Management > Nodes.
Select a cluster from the Cluster drop-down list.
Select Compute Node from the Node Type drop-down list.
In the Node List section, select the compute node that you want to start. Then, click Start.
Stop a compute node
If you stop a subscription compute node, its billing is not affected. If you stop a pay-as-you-go compute node for which you have enabled the economical mode, you are no longer charged for its computing resources. For more information, see Economical mode.
Log on to the E-HPC console.
In the top navigation bar, select a region.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Management > Nodes.
Select a cluster from the Cluster drop-down list.
Select Compute Node from the Node Type drop-down list.
In the Node List section, select the compute node that you want to stop. Then, click Stop.
In the Stop message, click OK.
