Manage data center hosts

Sign in with your Nodus account and open Data center. Select your organization, project and pool. The page uses your existing organization permissions. It shows enrolled hosts belonging to that project and pool; All organization hosts opens the broader host list you are authorized to read.

Choose Create a pool and review its routing fee, then Enroll a host to connect a machine. Follow the host prerequisites and enrollment guide. Inventory appears after the agent reports it. A missing or stale reading appears as unavailable, rather than zero utilization. Host utilization is the mean across its GPUs. It uses the GPU sample time and expires after 30 seconds; a newer heartbeat alone does not refresh that reading. A measured idle reading shows 0%.

The hourly activity chart shows recorded busy and idle device-hours; missing hours remain blank. GPU utilization while busy is a separate reading. Unmeasured online time means missing utilization readings and can overlap busy or idle occupancy. One device-hour is one GPU for one hour. Choose a time window and Refresh measurements for a new report. The report fetch time is separate from the hourly measurement times, which use UTC.

Under Lend idle capacity, review the published agreement and each host’s eligibility before choosing Yes. Idle measurements do not establish that a host can accept outside work or that it will earn money. Lending eligibility, active borrowing and cleanup status come from the sharing service. Cash earnings are separate from Nodus credits; cash payouts require an eligible account and accepted cash terms. See lending and cash payouts.

Ready describes node health and can appear while participation is disabled. Running capacity work also requires current operator consent, host eligibility and local allocation permission. Before returning a physical host to a customer, complete the host package’s retirement and cleanup procedure. The portal is not a reimaging or bare-metal handoff service, and unenrollment alone is not a clean-device proof.

The open-source host package also works independently, with its own local dashboard. Installing it does not grant lending permission. Follow its published support matrix and connection instructions; the hosted portal does not remotely partition GPUs.
