Nvidia GPU passthrough on Esxi 8.0.3 with L40s on Dell760xa

Hi Team,

I have a Dell 760xa with 2x L40S GPUs and have installed VMware ESXi 8.0.3. I have enabled GPU pass-through from the ESXi interface. The next step was to create two virtual machines: one running Windows Server 2019 and the other running Red Hat 9.6. Each VM has a dedicated one-to-one pass-through mapping with the underlying GPU.

i am trying to install Data Center Driver for Linux RHEL 9 550.163.01 | Linux 64-bit RHEL 9 | NVIDIA and 

Data Center Driver for Windows 539.56 | Windows Server 2019 | NVIDIA but unable to install . Windows Driver hanged during installation and Linux drivers also having issues .

let me know if anyone face similar issue or if there is any sequence needs to follow and if there are prerequisite to install before start installing drivers.

thanks for help .

Hello,

 

Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to assist you with this. I would recommend that we leave this for anyone in the community to share their experience, or you can call in to Dell Software Support to assist with this. You may also consider contacting NVIDIA for this issue, but I'm including a couple links that may be helpful. We are not able to assist, since we are primarily hardware break/fix.
