NVIDIA GPU not found on NV36adsA10

Question

Hi,

I’m using Azure VM instance with NVIDIA GPU-Optimized VMI with vGPU Driver for A10 Instances. Unfortunately when I launch nvidia-smi, it outputs No devices were found.

Here is the driver and device information:

Hello @Yi Pan

It looks like the NVIDIA GPU driver is installed and the GPU device is detected by the system, but it is not being recognized by the NVIDIA driver. This can happen if the NVIDIA driver is not properly configured or if there is a conflict with another driver.

Did you by any chance tried to reinstall the NVIDIA GPU driver to make sure that it is properly configured?
