Virtual Machine Configuration Error for User-managed Notebook on Vertex AI Workbench

[le-p]

I am creating a user-managed notebook on the Vertex AI Workbench, and when choosing the Machine Type Configuration, I put g2-standard-8, which comes with a Graphics Optimized NVIDIA L4 GPU, 8 vCPUs, and 32GB of RAM. However, when I created the notebook, I got an error saying "Instances with guest accelerators do not support live migration.: Something went wrong. Sorry about that." I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help to solve this issue so I am able to use the g2-standard-8 configuration. Thank you.

Hi @le-p,

You are encountering this error since this machine type is only available for serving predictions, if you are creating an instance in Vertex AI workbench, please note that g2-standard-8 is not available, you can check some of the available machine types using this link: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/training/configure-compute#machine-types
To check the list of he available machine types for user managed notebooks, you can go to Google cloud console > Vertex AI > Workbench > Create Notebook > Select an Environment and click advance options > Select Machine type > click the dropdown for machine type.  From there you will be able to see the list of machine types that you can use and select machine type that matches your requirement or preference. 

Hope this helps!
