= GPUs and vSphere
|
|
|
|
You can deploy {product-title} on an NVIDIA-certified VMware vSphere server that can host different GPU types.
|
|
|
|
An NVIDIA GPU driver must be installed in the hypervisor in case vGPU instances are used by the VMs. For VMware vSphere, this host driver is provided in the form of a VIB file.
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of vGPUS that can be allocated to worker node VMs depends on the version of vSphere:
|
|
|
|
* vSphere 7.0: maximum 4 vGPU per VM
|
|
* vSphere 8.0: maximum 8 vGPU per VM
|
|

|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
vSphere 8.0 introduced support for multiple full or fractional heterogenous profiles associated with a VM.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
You can choose one of the following methods to attach the worker nodes to the GPUs:
|
|
|
|
* GPU passthrough for accessing and using GPU hardware within a virtual machine (VM)
|
|
|
|
* GPU (vGPU) time-slicing, when not all of the GPU is needed
|
|
|
|
Similar to bare metal deployments, one or three or more servers are required. Clusters with two servers are not supported.
