| == Preparation of a VM running CentOS8, AlmaLinux8, RockyLinux8 == <!--T:6-->
| |
| Once the VM is available, make sure to update the OS to the latest available software, including the kernel. Then reboot the VM to have the latest kernel running.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| [root@centos8]# dnf -y update && reboot
| |
| </pre>

| |
| Since the proprietary Nvidia drivers need to be compiled against the running kernel, the package '''dkms''' is required from the [https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm EPEL Repository]
| |
|
| |
| <!--T:36-->
| |
| <pre>
| |
| [root@centos8]# dnf -y install epel-release
| |
| </pre>

| |
| Install the '''Arbutus Cloud''' [http://repo.arbutus.cloud.computecanada.ca/pulp/repos/centos/arbutus-cloud-vgpu-repo.el8.noarch.rpm repository].
| |
| It also installs the public key the packages are signed with to ensure their authenticity.
| |
| These drivers and user-space tools are carefully tested against the infrastructure before they are made available.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| [root@centos8]# dnf -y install http://repo.arbutus.cloud.computecanada.ca/pulp/repos/centos/arbutus-cloud-vgpu-repo.el8.noarch.rpm
| |
| </pre>
| |

| <!--T:38-->
| |
| The last step is to install the '''nvidia vGPU packages'''.
| |
| The kernel module package 'nvidia-vgpu-kmod' will take a few minutes as it compiles the required kernel modules in the background.
| |
| <pre>
| |
| [root@centos8]# dnf -y install nvidia-vgpu-kmod nvidia-vgpu-gridd nvidia-vgpu-tools
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
| <!--T:39-->
| |
| If your installation was successful, the vGPU will be accessible and licensed.
| |
| Test by running <code>nvidia-smi</code> as shown above for Centos7.
