Virtual GPU Forums General Discussion

Today we just update vib from 12.3 to 13.0 on our vSphere 7.0.2. It seems after rebooting the server, vSphere is not able to run the VM anymore. It seems all the previous GPU profile is not valid anymore. We didn’t have any problem when we upgrade from 12.2 to 12.3. Any suggestions?

This is what we have on the server right now:

vCS for ESX is now part of NVAIE offering. You need a special VIB. As existing customer you should get an upgrade path for NVAIE.

Dear Customer,
The vCS licenses on ESXi are not supported with vGPU 13. However, there is a new product, NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE), that has the same features (and more), and it is supported on vGPU 13 with ESXi. A special offer for NVAIE is going out on it to all vCS customers by October 1st. Please contact your account manager for more information.
