Troubleshooting

Indexed by symptom.

API

Symptom Likely cause Check
401 Invalid or missing key Authentication
404 on a model ID does not match a served model GET /v1/models
429 Replicas saturated Scaling
503 Model still loading, or no healthy replica kubectl -n shaide-serving get pods
Connection refused No ingress address Networking

Pods

Pending

kubectl describe pod <pod> | grep -A10 Events
  • Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu - out of GPU capacity
  • pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims - StorageClass problem
  • node(s) didn't match node selector - missing node labels

ImagePullBackOff - nodes cannot reach or do not trust the internal registry. See Node registry trust.

CrashLoopBackOff

kubectl logs <pod> --previous

For serving pods this is usually insufficient VRAM for the configured model.

GPUs not detected

kubectl describe node <gpu-node> | grep nvidia.com/gpu

Zero or absent means the driver stack is not working. Drivers must be installed before shaide - see Compute.

Installer

Symptom Cause
Cannot read previous state Wrong passphrase or state directory
Model manifest not readable Place models.yaml under <STORAGE_PATH>/manifests/, or set MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH
Requires a terminal Missing -it on docker run
Times out reaching cluster kubeconfig or network path

TLS

Certificate not issued: check cert-manager and any DNS validation records.

kubectl get certificate -A
kubectl describe certificate <name>

See TLS certificates.

Logs

kubectl logs -n shaide deploy/shaide-server
kubectl logs -n shaide-serving <model-pod>

Grafana ships with the platform for aggregated logs - see Observability.
