Here is an image of how this is done in the case of a Dell R740 server, using the iDRAC interface. Pre-requisites for MIG Enablement Global SR-IOVīefore we can enable MIG, we first need to enable the “Global SR-IOV” feature at the vSphere host BIOS level through the server management console, or iDRAC.

vCenter 7 Update 2 along with vSphere 7 Update 2 will automatically create the correctly sized GPU Instance for you and the associated Compute Instance, when you choose a vGPU profile for a MIG-backed vGPU. NOTE: The process for creating GPU Instances and Compute instances described below is now much more automated with vSphere 7 Update 2 and later. As a reminder, we include the outline MIG architecture again here for your reference. We already understand from part 1 that a GPU Instance represents a slice of a physical GPU capturing memory, a fraction of the overall streaming multiprocessors (SMs) or cores and the hardware pathways to those items, such as the crossbars and L2 cache.

Or they can dedicate a full GPU to one VM and one user, if the need is there to do that.
The vSphere administrator can give assurance to the vGPU consumer, a data scientist or machine learning practitioner, that their portion of the GPU is isolated for their use only. This allows the vSphere administrator to treat their GPU power in a cloud provider way and to maximize the utilization of the physical GPU by packing workloads onto it that are independent of each other. As a brief recap, the value of MIG to the vSphere user is MIG’s ability to do strict isolation between one vGPU’s share of a physical GPU and another on the same host server. In this second article on MIG, we dig a little deeper into the setup of MIG on vSphere and show how they work together. MIG works on the A100 GPU and others from NVIDIA’s Ampere range and it is compatible with CUDA Version 11. In part 1 of this series on Multi-Instance GPUs (MIG), we saw the concepts in the NVIDIA MIG feature set deployed on vSphere 7 in technical preview.
