VMware Horizon-NVIDA Grid

[hbhungra]

Hi,

I need assistance to configure NVIDIA GRID on VMware horizon 7.4

I have installed the below driver on VMware Hypervisor i.e. ESXi 6.5.

esxcli software vib install  -v /tmp/NVIDIA-vGPU-kepler-VMware_ESXi_6.5_Host_Driver_367.124-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673.vib

But I'm getting below error when I run the nvidia-smi on esxi host.

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver.

Regards,
Hakim. B

Post the output of below commands:

esxcli software vib list |grep NVI

dmesg | grep nvidia

esxcli hardware pci list -c 0x300 -m 0xff

Disable VM-Pass through option if it is enabled for vDGA.
