vGPU not available in "type mdev"

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

update: I installed this driver, it looks like it supports vgpu : ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.71-grid.run then NVIDIA-vGPU-rhel-7.5-410.68.x86_64.rpm but it's the same, nothing in column "type mdev"

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.

oh... I did not thought they could limit vGPU to some cards ! thanks you very much for your help

For vGPU to work you'll need to use one of these GPUs: https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/6.0/product-support-matrix/ On Nov 27 2018, at 4:47 am, Marc Le Grand <tybreizh29190@gmail.com> wrote:

I saw that table but I thought it was just for vSphere Xen.. because there were so few GPU. It's also strange that the P100 is noticed; as by boss made the share of a P400 work with kvm, P400 which is not listed...
