Hello I followed the tutorial regarding vGPU but it's not working, i i guess it's a Nvidia licence issue, but i need to be sure. My node is installed using the node ISO image. I just removed the nouveau driver ans installed the nVidia one. My product is : "GK106GL [Quadro K4000]" My driver is : NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.87 In the host peripherals I see my card (pci_0000_05_00_0) listed, but the column "type mdev" is empty, as the doc says I should see vGPU i guess something is missing. I took a look, there seems to be nVidia vGPU copatible driver, but no trace of it. The only vGPU stuff i found it's "NVIDIA VIRTUAL GPU" and i understand I have to pay to use vGPU on my nVidia card. is this correct or no ? If i'm supposed to pay is there a free workaround ? thanks for your help marc
It's my understanding that nvidia vgpu requires specialized cards, like the nvidia grid cards or quadro wds cards. There are some early models of these cards like the Grid K1 or K2 that did not need licensing, but the newer ones do. I don't think it's possible to get vgpu working on a standard quadro card.
