ESXI 7.0.2 - unable to load Nvidia driver for A40

Hi all,

Trying to configure POC environment. Currently stuck at getting the Nvidia driver to load.

Spoiler

[root@localhost:~] nvidia-smi

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

 

[root@localhost:~] esxcli software vib list | grep -i nvidia

Host is a Dell R740. I have enabled SR-IOV in Bios and disabled inbuilt Video controller. Also changed MIMO to 12TB.

Thanks.
