VMs not powering on with NVidia A40 Grid

danwilnot123 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 01:37:36 GMT

I've tried everything to get the vGPU VMs to power on but keep getting the error, Could not initialize plugin '/usr/lib64/vmware/plugin/libnvidia-vgx.so' for vGPU 'nvidia_a40-8q'

1. Disabled ECC Memory

2. Enabled SRIOV in the BIOS on the R750 host

3. Set Graphics mode to Shared Direct in VSphere

Ciao

Can you post nvidia-smi -q command output?
