Create a team storage volume (optional)

If you want to attach a team storage volume but your team doesn't have one available, create a volume in the Hardware section.

1. Click New volume.
2. In the New storage volume dialog, select a location in the Location list.
3. In the Name field, enter a name that's unique in your team.
4. In the Size field, select a preset or enter a whole number of GiB. The minimum size is 100 GiB.
5. Click Create volume. The volume appears in the Team storage volume list with the status Provisioning.
6. Wait until the status changes to Available. Provisioning takes a few minutes. CosmicAC shows a Volume ready notification when the volume is ready.

Attach a team storage volume (optional)

To keep the job's data after you delete the job, attach a team storage volume. You can attach a volume only when you create the job.

In the Team storage volume list, select a volume that has the status Available. If you created a volume in the preceding step, CosmicAC selects the volume for you.

CosmicAC sets Location to the volume's location and locks the list. To choose another location, clear the volume. For more information, see Use team storage volumes.

Select the hardware

1. If you didn't attach a volume, select a location in the Location list.
2. Select a GPU.
3. Set the GPU count. Below the count, Available GPUs shows the number of free GPUs in that location.
4. In the CUDA / driver list, select a driver.
5. Click Continue.

Select the notification events

In the Notifications section, turn off each job lifecycle event that you don't want this job to report. CosmicAC turns on all four events by default. For more information about the events and their delivery, see Set up webhook notifications.

Click Continue.

Review and create the job

In the Review & launch section, check that the section reports Ready to create, and then click Create job. If the section reports issues, click Edit in the row that names the problem. Fix the problem, and then return to the Review & launch section.

CosmicAC opens the Jobs page and shows the Provisioning status dialog.

Open a shell in the job

Wait until the job's status is Active. To open an interactive shell in the job, follow the steps in Connect to a GPU Container Job.
