Linux server unable to recognize GPU

We have the below configuration GPU on our Linux server but it is giving errors:-

Error: -

***WARNING: FOUND MULTIPLE ACCLERATOR PLATFORM DRIVERS:

#2

I think the message is quite straight-forward, add
export ABA_ACCELERATOR_TYPE=PLATFORM_CUDA
to your ~/.profile
and open a new shell or logout/login.
Also make sure libcuda is installed in e.g. /usr/lib64/ depending on distro.

#3

Hi thanks for the response! But do you know which profile? user or root?

#4

Either in each user’s profiles that’s running abaqus or systemwide in /etc/profile

#5

Hey we tried doing that but still we are getting the same error. Is there any specific driver that is missing?

#6

cdcvillx141:/home/mphpcadmin # nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Ma ke sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

#8

Please post the output of
export |grep ABA
to check you properly set the env variable.

#9

Please also post the output of
ls -l /usr/lib64/libcuda*
Which distribution are you using?

#10

Nothing comes up:
cdcvillx035:~ # export|grep ABA
cdcvillx035:~ #

#11

cdcvillx279:/home/mphpcadmin # ls -l /usr/lib64/libcuda*

#12

Can you clarify what you mean by distribution? Is it OS?

#13

You have incorrectly set the export.

#14

ok so what should I do to set the export? Can you send some instructions?

#15

So our GPUs are not running on 2 linux servers below, so can let us know which Nvidia package needs to be installed on these to Linux servers:

cdcvillx279:/apps/software/nvidia # dmidecode|grep -i product
Product Name: PowerEdge R730
Product Name: 072T6D
cdcvillx279:/apps/software/nvidia # cat /etc/*release
NAME=“SLES”
VERSION=“12-SP2”
VERSION_ID=“12.2”
PRETTY_NAME=“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2”
cdcvillx141:~ # dmidecode|grep -i product
Product Name: PowerEdge R720
Product Name: 0020HJ
cdcvillx141:~ # cat /etc/*release
NAME=“SLES”
VERSION=“12-SP2”
VERSION_ID=“12.2”
PRETTY_NAME=“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2”

#16

Looking at the libcuda versions, it seems the driver has previously been installed with cuda.
How has this been installed?
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.

#17

Can you tell us where would we find this file?

#18

It should have been installed in the standard path when you initially installed the driver.
Doesn’t
sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh
work?

#19

ok it worked now. I have attached the file nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (400.4 KB)

#20

That looks largely unmaintained. A year ago, driver 390.26 was installed using the runfile installer but uninstalled afterwards. No idea how the 384 driver was installed. Please post the output of
sudo zypper search “nvidia*”
