[Plugin] Nvidia-Driver

[bmartino1]

questions
will this plugin support vgpu instances?

Both a virtulized gpu in say a proxmox vm and/or a say grid k2 example...
I ask because i finally got my hands on a quadro a6000

but the production, lattest and open source driver doesn't seem to detect my card

Example
lspci
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102GL [Quadro RTX 6000/8000] (rev a1)

 

curious with 

as the open source driver is getting vgpu support?

I don‘t think so since I assume you want to pass theough a vGPU to Unraid and then use this driver to utilize the vGPU.

 

Please do keep in mind that I can‘t give support for virtualized GPUs or passed through GPUs since there are too many variables involved.

Multiple people who virtualize Unraid on Proxmox or VMWare have reported issue with that since they forgot to set a flag while passing through the GPU.

 

If you pass through a whole card to a VM you don‘t need the plugin.

Yeah but I don‘t think that‘s already implemented correct?

However if the OpenSource driver get‘s this feature the driver should support it.

 

Please note that these driver plugins that I provide are just downloading precompiled driver for the Unraid version you are running.

When the driver is installed you can do whatever you like with the driver so to speak, if the driver supports it then yes you should be able to create vGPUs and use it in VMs but this is will be not part of this plugin if additional steps are necessary.
