We are creating a site for our AGFA imaging systems, so that we can provide doctors the ability to access diagnostic quality imaging anytime, any place. First things first, I need to build the infrastructure. I’ve setup XenServer 6.2, fully patched. Setup my storage, built the controllers, setup Storefront Services 2.5, and I’ve even tried my hand at a VM. the VM works fine, and the app is functioning properly, but when I try to install the VDA, it tells me that there is a problem with the GPU. I have installed the drivers on my XenServer hosts, as well as installing the drivers on the VM (Windows 7 x64, 16GB RAM, 1 GPU, 125GB disk, 10gbe network). No luck at all.
Has anyone had success installing the VDA? Getting ready to call support, but I thought that I would ask on the various forums first.
Make sure you set rwx permissions on the rpm file. After it installs you should be able to do a
lsmod | grep nvidia
If that doesn’t return anything try a toolstack restart, and it is still shows nothing you should check that mmio is disabled in bios as Rachel mentioned.
You can reinstall by doing:
rpm -qa | grep nvidia (Displays the package name)
rpm - e package name
Thanks everyone… I am good on the XenServer piece, as I followed all of the above instructions and that looks good. Thanks again! I think that my problem might be in the order of installation on the VM. Out of habit, I installed the tools first, THEN the NVIDIA drivers. I will uninstall everything and start over. Woo hoo! This stuff is fun! :-)
I solved my problem and it was self-inflicted. When I was setting up the hosts in XD 7.5, I accepted the default of "Passthrough" for the GPU configuration during the resource setup. When installing the VDA, I was selecting the K100 gpu. Once I deleted the host configuration and set it up properly, I was able to see the VM as a template for creating the catalog. It fails on the MCS creation process, but one thing at a time! :-)
