Thanks, forwarding to the list as information; tried it and still got the same error -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email: francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: PCI passthrough - flavor not found Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:10:25 +0200 From: Mike Currin <mike@idia.ac.za> To: Francesco Di Nucci <francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it> Hi, Forgot to reply to the list as well so ignore the one specifically to you, it's the same content though Regards Mike On Fri, Mar 28, 2025 at 11:08 AM Mike Currin <mike@idia.ac.za> wrote: Hi Francesco, We had something similar for our A100 GPUs, we had to add "device_type":"type-PF" vs PCI and then it worked. Maybe give that a go. I've seen it mentioned on the list before.
