Dylan Bethune-Waddell updated MESOS-6383:
-----------------------------------------
Description:
We're attempting to deploy Mesos on a cluster with 2 Nvidia GPUs per host. We
are not in a position to upgrade the Nvidia drivers in the near future, and are
currently at driver version 319.72
When attempting to launch an agent with the following command and take
advantage of Nvidia GPU support (master address elided):
bq. {{./bin/mesos-agent.sh --master=<masterIP>:<masterPort>
--work_dir=/tmp/mesos --isolation="cgroups/devices,gpu/nvidia"}}
I receive the following error message:
bq. {{Failed to create a containerizer: Failed call to
NvidiaGpuAllocator::resources: Failed to nvml::initialize: Failed to load
symbol 'nvmlDeviceGetMinorNumber': Error looking up symbol
'nvmlDeviceGetMinorNumber' in 'libnvidia-ml.so.1' :
/usr/lib64/libnvidia-ml.so.1: undefined symbol: nvmlDeviceGetMinorNumber}}
Based on the change log for the NVML module, it seems that
{{nvmlDeviceGetMinorNumber}} is only available for driver versions 331 and
later as per info under the [Changes between NVML v5.319 Update and
v331|http://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/nvml-api/change-log.html#change-log] heading
in the NVML API reference.
Is there is an alternate method of obtaining this information at runtime to
enable support for older versions of the Nvidia driver? Based on discussion in
the design document, obtaining this information from the {{nvidia-smi}} command
output is a feasible alternative.
I am willing to submit a PR that amends the behaviour of {{NvidiaGpuAllocator}}
such that it first attempts calls to {{nvml::nvmlGetDeviceMinorNumber}} via
libnvidia-ml, and if the symbol cannot be found, falls back on
{{--nvidia-smi="/path/to/nvidia-smi"}} option obtained from mesos-agent if
provided or attempts to run {{nvidia-smi}} if found on path and parses the
output to obtain this information. Otherwise, raise an exception indicating all
this was attempted.
Would a function or class for parsing {{nvidia-smi}} output be a useful
contribution?

yet yielded much insight on a path forward.
