Dell PowerEdge R710 build PART 8/9 | installing NVIDIA GPU driver in Proxmox VE 6.1

Описание

In this video, I'm going to install the latest Nvidia GPU driver for the Quadro P2000 in the Proxmox VE 6.1 host itself. I want to do this because it will allow me to use the GPU for CUDA applications and PLEX GPU hardware transcoding later on.

Unfortunately, the driver install procedure is not simple in this case. Even after installing the driver, we need to create some custom udev rules to ensure that the device files for the GPU are created. And finally, we have to configure the system to load all the related nvidia drivers at boot time.

Here are the udev rules that go into /etc/udev/rules.d/70-nvidia.rules:
KERNEL=="nvidia", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -L && /bin/chmod 666 /dev/nvidia*'"
KERNEL=="nvidia_modeset", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c0 -m && /bin/chmod 666 /dev/nvidia-modeset*'"
KERNEL=="nvidia_uvm", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c0 -u && /bin/chmod 666 /dev/nvidia-uvm*'"

In the next video, we'll use this GPU for PLEX hardware transcoding!
