# Full Virtual Machine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Deploy a new full virtual machine on the Threefold Grid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Make sure you have a [wallet](./wallet_connector.md)
|
||
|
|
- Click on the **Full Virtual Machine** tab
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Process:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fill in the instance name: it's used to reference the Full VM in the future.
|
||
|
|
- Choose the image from the drop down (e.g Alpine, Ubuntu) or you can click on `Other` and manually specify the flist URL and the entrypoint.
|
||
|
|
- Select a capacity package:
|
||
|
|
- **Small**: {cpu: 1, memory: 2, diskSize: 25 }
|
||
|
|
- **Medium**: {cpu: 2, memory: 4, diskSize: 50 }
|
||
|
|
- **Large**: {cpu: 4, memory: 16, diskSize: 100}
|
||
|
|
- Or choose a **Custom** plan
|
||
|
|
- Choose the network
|
||
|
|
- `Public IPv4` flag gives the virtual machine a Public IPv4
|
||
|
|
- `Public IPv6` flag gives the virtual machine a Public IPv6
|
||
|
|
- `Planetary Network` to connect the Virtual Machine to Planetary network
|
||
|
|
- `Wireguard Access` to add a wireguard acces to the Virtual Machine
|
||
|
|
- `GPU` flag to add GPU to the Virtual machine
|
||
|
|
- To deploy a Full VM with GPU, you first need to [rent a dedicated node](../dashboard/portal/dashboard_portal_dedicated_nodes.md#filter-and-reserve-a-gpu-node)
|
||
|
|
- `Dedicated` flag to retrieve only dedicated nodes
|
||
|
|
- `Certified` flag to retrieve only certified nodes
|
||
|
|
- Choose the location of the node
|
||
|
|
- `Country`
|
||
|
|
- `Farm Name`
|
||
|
|
- Choose the node to deploy the Full Virtual Machine on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can attach one or more disks to the Virtual Machine by clicking on the Disks tab and the plus `+` sign and specify the following parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Disk name
|
||
|
|
- Disk size
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in the bottom of the page you can see a list of all of the virual machines you deployed. you can click on `Show details` for more details
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also go to JSON tab for full details
|

## Difference Between Full Virtual Machine and Micro Virtual Machine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Full VM contains a default disk attached to it which is not the case in the Micro VM where you needed to make sure to attach a disk to it or the VM will fail
|
||
|
|
- The default disk is mounted on / so if you want to attach any additional disks, you have to choose a different mounting point
|
||
|
|
- Only cloud init flists can be deployed on Full VM. You can check official Threefold flists [here](https://hub.grid.tf/tf-official-vms)
|
||
|
|
- In Full VM, you need to mount the additional disks manually after the VM is deployed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Manually Mounting Additional Disk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You can follow the following commands to add your disk manually:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Check all disks attached to the VM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
fdisk -l
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### The additional disk won't be mounted and you won't find it listed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
df -h
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create mount dir
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo mkdir /hdd6T
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### New file system
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Mount drive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo mount /dev/vdb /hdd6T/
|
||
|
|
```
