NVIDIA GPU drivers are required to provision GPU on OpenShift Container Shift Platform. These drivers enable Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) and allow workloads to consume GPU. The Dell OpenShift engineering team provisioned an NVIDIA H100 GPU on a compute node to validate the solution deployment.
The Node Feature Discovery (NFD) operator is required for the NVIDIA GPU operator. To install the NFD operator:
[root@csah ~]# oc get pods -n openshift-nfd
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nfd-controller-manager-8c4b5d5cb-d76l4 2/2 Running 0 32s
The NFD operator uses vendor PCI IDs to identify hardware in a node. NVIDIA uses the PCI ID 10de.
You can review the status of the NFD from the OpenShift Container Platform CLI.
oc describe node <node name>
Perform this task as the cluster administrator from the OpenShift Container Platform web console:
The suggested namespace is nvidia-gpu-operator.
oc get pods -n nvidia-gpu-operator
A ClusterPolicy CRD is created. The ClusterPolicy configures the GPU stack, including the image, the repository, and pod restrictions and credentials.
The platform assigns the default name gpu-cluster-policy to the policy.
The GPU operator installs the components that are required to set up the NVIDIA GPUs in the cluster.
After 20 minutes, the status of the deployed gpu-cluster-policy for the NVIDIA GPU operator changes to State:ready.
