To quickly give data scientists the opportunity to test the deep learning VM templates in VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, as a cloud administrator, you can deploy a deep learning VM directly on a vSphere cluster by using the vSphere Client.
Deploying a deep learning VM with NVIDIA RAG requires a vector database. You can use a PostgreSQL database with pgvector in VMware Data Services Manager. For information about deploying such a database and integrating it in a deep learning VM, see Deploy a Deep Learning VM with a RAG Workload.
Prerequisites
Verify that VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA is deployed and configured. See Preparing VMware Cloud Foundation for Private AI Workload Deployment.
Procedure
Results
The vGPU guest driver and the specified deep learning workload is installed the first time you start the deep learning VM.
You can examine the logs or open the JupyterLab instance that comes with some of the images. You can share access details with data scientists in your organization. See Deep Learning Workloads in VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA.
What to do next
- Connect to the deep learning VM over SSH and verify that all components are installed and running as expected.
- Send access details to your data scientists.
