Unraid and RTX 3080 NVIDIA Driver Issues - "NVIDIA-SMI has failed"
Hello everyone,
I'm running into a frustrating issue with my Unraid server and my RTX 3080 GPU. I've installed the NVIDIA drivers using the community-provided NVIDIA plugin, but when I try to use nvidia-smi, I get the dreaded error: "NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running."
I've tried reinstalling the drivers, rebooting the server, and checking the plugin configuration, but nothing seems to work. I'm at my wit's end!
Has anyone else encountered this problem with an RTX 3080 or similar card on Unraid? I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who have successfully resolved it.
Here are some details about my setup:
Unraid Version: 7.0.0
NVIDIA Driver Plugin Version: 570.86.16
RTX 3080: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX™ 3080 GAMING OC 10G
Other relevant hardware: Dual Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 176 GiB DDR4 Multi-bit ECC
Dell Inc., Version 2.17.0
BIOS dated: Tue 11 Apr 2023 12:00 AM
Here are some things I've already tried:
1. Reinstalling the NVIDIA driver plugin.
2. Rebooting the Unraid server.
3. Checking the plugin settings for any obvious errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Thanks
