Hello, On a stateless CentOS 7.5 cluster with Quadro GPUs, I need to install the Nvidia driver. I’m using the runfile downloaded from the Nvidia website. What is the suggested procedure ? Is it better to install the driver in the osimage, or should I make the installer run when the nodes start ?
The problem I see with the first option is the fact that the driver checks if a GPU is present in the system, so I’m not sure if this method can work. The problem with the second method is that, after trying it, it’s very difficult to have a working X server with a Gnome desktop. The driver installer needs the node to be in runlevel 3 (multi-user.target) but once it is installed, I need to switch to runlevel 5 (graphical.target) which almost never works. So far the only way I’ve found is by installing the driver manually on a freshly booted node, run nvidia-xconfig to fill the Xorg.conf file, and then restarting the gnome services. Any help on this subject would be much appreciated ! 😊 Best regards, Antoine Huette HPC Engineer antoine.hue...@bechtle.com<mailto:antoine.hue...@bechtle.com> | 03.67.07.97.37/07.72.31.82.12 | bechtle.fr<http://www.bechtle.fr/> | [Bechtle][http://www.bechtle-contenu.fr/signature/facebook.png]<https://www.facebook.com/Bechtle-France-428229243877854/> [http://www.bechtle-contenu.fr/signature/twitter.png] <https://twitter.com/BechtleFrance> [http://www.bechtle-contenu.fr/signature/linkedin.png] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/bechtle-france> [http://www.bechtle-contenu.fr/signature/youtube.png] <https://www.youtube.com/user/BechtleAG> [Résultat de recherche d'images pour "instagram logo"] <https://www.instagram.com/bechtlefrance/?hl=fr>
