Install GPU drivers for GPU-enabled compute nodes
Compute nodes with NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs), like the H610C, need
NVIDIA software drivers installed in VMware ESXi so that they can take advantage of the
increased processing power. After deploying compute nodes with GPUs, you need to
perform these steps on each GPU-enabled compute node to install the GPU drivers in
ESXi.
Steps
1. Open a browser and browse to the NVIDIA licensing portal at the following URL:
https://nvid.nvidia.com/dashboard/
2. Download one of the following driver packages to your computer, depending on your environment:
vSphere version
vSphere 6.5
vSphere 6.7
to ensure that all versions of software are compatible. See the
for more information.
