| 15:02:00 | pvc_ | not just the passthrough gpu virtualization | |
| 15:02:08 | bauzas | pvc_: that's possible indeed | |
| 15:02:14 | bauzas | pvc_: which virt driver are you using ? | |
| 15:02:38 | pvc_ | but when i follow the docs i cannot see the mdev_bus :( kindly refer to this https://docs.openstack.org/nova/queens/admin/virtual-gpu.html | |
| 15:02:53 | bauzas | pvc_: ahha | |
| 15:03:16 | pvc_ | im using centos os server | |
| 15:03:18 | openstackgerrit | Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Use 'virt' as the default machine type for ARMv7 https://review.openstack.org/602592 | |
| 15:03:23 | bauzas | pvc_: I don't document those steps as they are pretty vendor specific | |
| 15:03:32 | bauzas | pvc_: but I can help you | |
| 15:03:41 | pvc_ | please bauzas | |
| 15:03:47 | pvc_ | i need your help | |
| 15:04:28 | pvc_ | i watch your youtube video and install an nvidia driver but still i cant list the mdev supported | |
| 15:08:36 | pvc_ | what should i do sir bauzas? | |
| 15:09:29 | mriedem | pvc_: he's in a discussion during the ptg right now | |
| 15:09:30 | mriedem | just fyi | |
| 15:09:45 | pvc_ | im so sorry | |
| 15:09:47 | pvc_ | i just wait | |
| 15:20:18 | evrardjp | good morning | |
| 15:27:50 | bauzas | pvc_: sorry was discussing | |
| 15:28:11 | pvc_ | it is okay sir bauzas. i found some docs on nvidia site but it is for redhat os | |
| 15:28:26 | bauzas | pvc_: so, the mdev_bus is generated by the nvidia driver | |
| 15:28:39 | bauzas | but you need a recent kernel | |
| 15:29:04 | pvc_ | i need to update my centos kernel if ever. is there an available nvidia-kvm-vgpu driver for centos | |
| 15:29:11 | pvc_ | you tried it before sir? | |
| 15:29:19 | bauzas | I'm not a sire but anyway | |
| 15:29:20 | bauzas | :) | |
| 15:29:24 | bauzas | sir* | |
| 15:29:53 | bauzas | so, I played with RHEL7.5 | |
| 15:29:59 | bauzas | and 7.4 | |
| 15:30:03 | bauzas | both were working | |
| 15:30:15 | bauzas | which CentOS version are you using ? | |
| 15:30:15 | mriedem | melwitt: if we're going to do priorities we should probably do it before lunch | |
| 15:30:22 | mriedem | b/c peole are leaving this afternoon | |
| 15:30:23 | pvc_ | im using 7.5 | |
| 15:30:27 | pvc_ | what can i call you? | |
| 15:30:37 | melwitt | mriedem: ok, we can do that | |
| 15:30:38 | mriedem | pap bear | |
| 15:30:41 | mriedem | *papa bear | |
| 15:30:43 | pvc_ | i want to be really part of openstack development where can i start? ;( | |
| 15:31:37 | melwitt | pvc_: we are at the Project Teams Gathering this week, so we can't talk much until next week | |
| 15:31:53 | pvc_ | i understand :) | |
| 15:31:58 | pvc_ | but thanks for the effort on replying | |
| 15:32:01 | bauzas | pvc_: so, CentOS 7.5 should be fine | |
| 15:32:12 | pvc_ | that sounds good :) | |
| 15:32:20 | bauzas | what you need is to remove the 'nouveau' kernel module | |
| 15:32:33 | bauzas | and then install the nvidia grid driver | |
| 15:32:54 | bauzas | of course, it would require a reboot | |
| 15:33:42 | pvc_ | the nvidia grid will work on tesla? | |
| 15:34:04 | pvc_ | here https://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/driverResults.aspx/99148/en-uk | |
| 15:35:04 | bauzas | https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/6.0/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html#install-vgpu-package-generic-linux-kvm are the KVM related notes | |
| 15:37:02 | pvc_ | thank you so much :) i just need to download the latest nvidia grid driver and thats is | |
| 15:37:03 | pvc_ | :) | |
| 15:38:10 | bauzas | pvc_: and a P100 is said to be supported with nvidia grid driver 6.2 https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/6.0/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html#vgpu-types-tesla-p100-12gb | |
| 15:39:54 | pvc_ | thank you so much. i will just first where to install the nvidia grid driver 6.2 | |
| 15:40:21 | bauzas | out of curiosity, which nvidia driver version were you using ? | |
| 15:40:25 | bauzas | was it a grid one ? | |
| 15:40:37 | bauzas | (the nvidia licensing is so confusing...) | |
| 15:41:42 | bauzas | mriedem: efried: FWIW, I tested booting a server within the functional test and it graciously fails | |
| 15:41:48 | bauzas | which proves our point | |
| 15:42:16 | bauzas | now, I'll upload that one-liner WIP and test it against the nested-allocations series | |
| 15:42:17 | mriedem | bauzas: cool. can you rebase tetsuro's fixes on top and see it pass? | |
| 15:42:19 | efried | bauzas: How about when you add the use-nested-allocation-candidates code to it? | |
| 15:42:23 | efried | ... yeah, that :) | |
| 15:42:36 | bauzas | yeah I'm on it | |
| 15:42:53 | pvc_ | for now i dont have nvidia-driver i will find an nvidia driver for linux because when i see the grid it only supporte citrix vsphare bauzas | |
| 15:42:56 | bauzas | tetsuro: fine with me rebasing ? | |
| 15:43:04 | tetsuro | bauzas: sure | |
| 15:43:12 | bauzas | tetsuro: thanks | |
| 15:43:31 | bauzas | pvc_: nvidia grid drivers are licensed you know | |
| 15:43:41 | bauzas | you can't just pull one from internet :) | |
| 15:44:13 | pvc_ | i see so i cant use this: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/136954/en-us for my p100 tesla | |
| 15:44:23 | bauzas | nope | |
| 15:44:30 | pvc_ | i need to contact nvidia for the licensing | |
| 15:44:33 | bauzas | but nvidia provides some evaluation drivers for testing | |
| 15:44:41 | bauzas | so you can start playing | |
| 15:45:04 | pvc_ | noted on this i will find that :) | |
| 15:45:14 | pvc_ | here https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/129776/en-us? | |
| 15:45:21 | pvc_ | but for vmware only | |
| 15:45:28 | bauzas | nope, there http://www.nvidia.com/object/grid-evaluation.html | |
| 15:46:15 | pvc_ | thank you so much for your effort and time. im so sorry for disturbing you :) | |
| 15:46:45 | pvc_ | 90 day trial :) | |
| 15:47:34 | bauzas | pvc_: you don't disturb me, no worries :) | |
| 15:48:07 | pvc_ | have a great day. thank you so much. :) | |
| 15:48:10 | mriedem | bauzas: i wonder if we should have some kind of known issues section of the vgpu doc for stuff like this? | |
| 15:48:20 | mriedem | i.e. for things people run into | |
| 15:48:29 | openstackgerrit | Jay Pipes proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Standardize CPU resource tracking https://review.openstack.org/555081 | |
| 15:48:52 | bauzas | mriedem: we have an open bug for vgpu docs | |
| 15:48:52 | mriedem | bauzas: like we know you have to mask the hypervisor for nvidia right? | |
| 15:49:10 | bauzas | but I'm torn on providing vendor specific documentation | |
| 15:49:16 | mriedem | i'm not, | |
| 15:49:18 | mriedem | let's add it | |
| 15:49:27 | mriedem | they don't have to be super detailed, | |
| 15:49:28 | bauzas | ok so there is a bug for it | |
| 15:49:34 | mriedem | just "remember to check this"" | |
| 15:49:38 | bauzas | https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1752463 | |
| 15:49:39 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1752463 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Attaching virtual GPU devices to guests in nova" [Medium,Confirmed] | |
| 15:49:52 | mriedem | pvc_: can you summarize your issue in that bug ^ ? | |
| 15:49:52 | bauzas | we can amend the existing docs to be a bit more oriented | |
| 15:49:54 | mriedem | so we can document it? | |
| 15:50:07 | mriedem | i think it's just that your trial period expired? | |
