Failing at getting vGPU to work on Linux

I have been trying to get vGPU to work on Proxmox (Debian / Ubuntu) for over a week. I feel like I am close, but keep hitting walls.
Card is an RTX 6000 ada
I got my 90 day trial, and downloaded the Linux KVM software version 17.4
I ran NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.127.06-vgpu-kvm.run and the driver installed.
nvidia-smi works
nvidia-smi vgpu reports:
±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 550.127.06 Driver Version: 550.127.06 |
|---------------------------------±-----------------------------±-----------+
| GPU Name | Bus-Id | GPU-Util |
| vGPU ID Name | VM ID VM Name | vGPU-Util |
|=================================+==============================+============|
| 0 NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Ge… | 00000000:3B:00.0 | 0% |
±--------------------------------±-----------------------------±-----------+

lspci shows 33 NVIDIA CPUs.
I have used the displaymodeselector tool to change the GPU to display-disabled.

From here, I am not exactly sure what’s next. Adding vGPUs to VMs doesn’t work. I have found several methods online to see what mediated types are available, and all of them show none available. ex:
ls /sys/class/mdev_bus/0000:3b:03.2/mdev_supported_types/
the mdev_supported_types/ is empty.

I also find that I should use the NVIDIA vGPU manager to create the vGPUs and types. But, it didn’t install with the installer, and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. The downloads section in the portal only has it for vSphere. The documentation mentions a .deb file is available, but where?

If the vGPU manager is the next step, how do I get it for Ubuntu/Debian ? I tried to contact support, but the support link from the licensing portal is broken and just returns me back to the portal.

Hi,

Proxmox is not an officially supported KVM hypervisor by vGPU, you need check with Proxmox if vGPU is supported.

Please check the latest vGPU support matrix:

You can download vGPU driver for Ubuntu/Debian, You need go to NVIDIA license portal->Software Downloads, and search vgpu ubuntu kvm, then you can get vGPU drivers for Ubuntu. Please check the support matrix for compatible Ubuntu release.

If still have questions, you need submit case to NVIDIA Enterprise Support, please check the below link for reference:

Best regards,

Wenlong
