Hi everybody,

I configured a VM with GPU passthrough on proxmox 7 with tesla T4 card
nvidia-smi stopped working and I can't figure out what went wrong
here is the output I get:

Code: 
root@hyperviser:~# nvidia-smi
Failed to initialize NVML: Unknown Error

and some output from demsg:

Hello!

I know your post is from last year but did you solved your problem? How you solved it?
I'm having same trouble with my proxmox and have no clue about it.
Here is my detailed post: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/n...iled-to-initialize-nvml-unknown-error.135355/

Thanks!

I recommend reviewing your BIOS settings, such as Advanced Power Management Configuration. Ensure that the Power/Performance Profile selection is set to Virtualization. This adjustment solved the issues I experienced.
