[Q] How to swap Nvidia card for another with Nvidia plugin?


Recommended Posts

Hello all, 

Before I dive into this a little later today I wanted to make sure that this was the right process. 

I checked the Nvidia plugin thread the other day and this isn't listed. 

I wish to swap out a 970 in my server for a 1030, to free up the 970 for a different build as its op for my needs. 

Can I just power down, swap card and reconfigure the containers with the new gpu id? 

Is there anything else I should be doing? 

Cheers

Alright so for anyone who is playing along at home (in the future)

 

1. Turned off all the auto starts for docker and VM's to be on the safe side.

2. Shutdown unraid PC

3. Swapped out the 970 and in the 1030.

4. Power up server

5. Wait for full boot up, watching terminal output (as had hdmi plugged in)

7. Check in Nvidia plugin - new 1030 was recognised.

8. Update GPU info into the containers for plex, etc.

9. Remove then reinstall GPU statistics (for some reason this did not refresh with new info until I completed this).

10. Profit!!?????
