AHV supports GPU-accelerated computing for guest VMs. You can configure either GPU pass-through or a virtual GPU.
Let us say you have an AHV host with GPU compatible hardware and looking for a simple way to install the required drivers.
Nutanix recommends a specific method for installing the Nvidia GPU host driver in AHV hosts.
The method involves a script which is used for installation or upgrade of all the hosts in the cluster.
Go through the following document to understand the process in-depth
Have questions regarding the usage of the script?
-
What will happen if one of the nodes doesn’t have a GPU?
-
What will happen if the driver version is different on one node than the rest of the cluster?
-
How can I install the driver onto the new nodes only, without affecting the currently running nodes?
-
Can I install different versions of the driver onto different nodes of the cluster?
The following knowledge base article can help you to get answers to the above-mentioned questions.
