- Install the cluster node host operating system driver. See Section 2.7.1: Installing the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager for Microsoft Azure Stack of the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software User Guide.
- After the host driver is installed on every cluster node, you can do GPU-P. For more information about how to perform GPU-P, see Partition and share GPUs with virtual machines on Azure Stack HCI. Note: It is highly recommended to use WAC and the GPU extension instead of PowerShell to align to best practices and avoid errors.
- Once a VM is assigned a GPU-P, install the NVIDIA guest operating system driver. For more information about installing the guest VM software graphics driver on Windows, see Section 4.1: Installing the NVIDIA vGPU Software Graphics Driver on Windows of the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software User Guide.
- After successful VM guest driver install, you must activate the guest VM with a NVIDIA license to start using the GPU-P. Details for doing so are outlined in Section 5.2. Configuring a Licensed Client on Windows of the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software User Guide.
- At this point, you have installed the host/guest driver, assigned a GPU-P to a VM, and activated a license on the VM per the steps listed above. The VM is now ready to use the GPU-P.
