Hi everyone,
I have managed to pass through 1 of my GPUs using
lxc config device add v3 rtx1 gpu gputype=physical pci=0000:04:00.0
so LXD can create VMs with it
the problem is that NVIDIA drivers are installed but the GPU remains ‘unclaimed’, the drivers install well but nvidia-smi fails
~# lspci | grep -i nvidia
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 [GeForce RTX 2080] (rev a1)
06:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 HD Audio Controller (rev a1)
06:00.2 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 USB 3.1 Host Controller (rev a1)
06:00.3 Serial bus controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU104 USB Type-C UCSI Controller (rev a1)
:~# nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Is there a way of claiming the Nvidia GPU and stopping the Virtio one?
please help . . . I need the GPU for my k8s workloads
thanks,
