VM start failed Nvidia A40 vGPU Could not initialize plugin '/usr/lib64/vmware/plugin/libnvidia-vgx.so' for vGPU 'nvidia_a40-1b'

In case anyone comes across this, ESXi 6.7.0 only supports A40 in pass-through mode, not NVIDIA vGPU. You’ll need to upgrade to 7.0.2+, then your graphics devices will appear properly and then you can use NVIDIA vGPU.
