What will happen if i resume pod on fully occupied physical machine via api
Hello, doc says:
"Most of our machines have between 4 and 8 GPUs per physical machine. When you start a Pod, it is locked to a specific physical machine. If you keep it running (On-Demand), then that GPU cannot be taken from you. However, if you stop your Pod, it becomes available for a different user to rent. When you want to start your Pod again, your specific machine may be wholly occupied! In this case, we give you the option to spin up your Pod with zero GPUs so you can retain access to your data."
What will happen if I try to resume a stopped pod via API and all gpus in physical machine is already occupied? What the status code will be? Is there any details message in response body? And what the response will be, if there is no free gpu on whole datacenter?
https://rest.runpod.io/v1/docs#tag/pods/POST/pods/{podId}/start here is only 200, 400 (invalid pod id) and 401 (unauthorized) mentioned
