You must download and install the VIB for your NVIDIA GRID graphics card on the ESXi host.
NVIDIA provides a vGPU software package that includes a vGPU Manager, which you install on the ESXi host in this procedure, and a Linux Display Driver, which you can install on the Linux virtual machine in a later procedure.
Prerequisites
- Verify that vSphere 7 U3 or a later release is installed in your environment.
Note: To support vGPU capabilities on Linux application pools, you must use vSphere 7 U3 or later.
- Verify that the required vGPU graphics card is installed on the ESXi host.
Note: For information about the NVIDIA graphics cards and Linux distributions that support vGPU capabilities, see
