Ubuntu-18.04 Installation Guide for IBM Power9 - Raptor Talos II Secure Workstation - Install NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers using standalone installer

Overview

This document describes the setup procedure for installing NVIDIA's proprietary graphcis drivers on the Talos II secure workstation.

Procedure

Step 01.00: Install NVIDIA graphics drivers.

Step 01.01: Blacklist nouveau drivers.

Ensure you are using only Nvidia proprietary drivers by blacklisting Nouveau, Ubuntu's built-in Open Source driver.

Create blacklist-nouveau.conf

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

Include the following:

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

Enter the following linux command to regenerate initramfs:

sudo update-initramfs -u

Reboot your system:

sudo reboot -i NOW

Step 01.02: Install NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers.

List installed PCI devices:

sudo lspci

0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0001:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0001:01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961
0002:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0003:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0003:01:00.0 USB controller: Texas Instruments TUSB73x0 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller (rev 02)
0004:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0004:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
0004:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
0005:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0005:01:00.0 PCI bridge: ASPEED Technology, Inc. AST1150 PCI-to-PCI Bridge (rev 04)
0005:02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics Family (rev 41)
0030:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0030:01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GV100GL [Tesla V100 PCIe 16GB] (rev a1)
0031:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0032:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1
0033:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 04c1

We can see that the NVIDIA V100 GPU is connect to PCIe slot 0030:01:00.0.

Download the driver:

NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION='440.33.01'
NVIDIA_DRIVER_RELEASE_DATE='2019.11.19'
OS_DISTRO='ubuntu'
OS_VERSION='1804'
ARCH='ppc64el'

URL1="http://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION.run"
URL2="http://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION/nvidia-driver-local-repo-$OS_DISTRO$OS_VERSION-${NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION}_1.0-1_$ARCH.deb"

wget -q --show-progress --progress=bar:force:noscroll http://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION.run -O /tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION.run

Install the driver, with dkms support and overwrite existing libglvnd files.

sudo bash /tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION.run

To extract the contents of the nvidia-driver:

bash /tmp/NVIDIA-Linux-$ARCH-$NVIDIA_DRIVER_VERSION.run --extract-only

Step 01.03: Verify nvidia driver installation.

Run nvidia-smi:
