Ah thank you for pointing me towards that Alex. I guess, I should probably look at the MIG pathway. I wonder if it’s possible to do vGPU profiles in MIG configuration. Have you any experience with this? Thanks, Karl.

So the vGPU is available and cyborg is allocating it using ARQ binding. You can see Nova receives this request: 2023-09-21 16:38:51.889 1901814 DEBUG nova.compute.manager [None req-97062e9c-0c44-480e-9918-4a5a810175b2 78e83e5a446e4071ae43e823135dcb3c 21eb701c2a1f48b38dab8f34c0a20902 - - default default] ARQs for spec:{'2d60c353-0419-4b67-8cb7-913fc6f5cef9': {'uuid': '2d60c353-0419-4b67-8cb7-913fc6f5cef9', 'state': 'Bound', 'device_profile_name': 'VGPU_A40-Q48', 'device_profile_group_id': 0, 'hostname': 'gpu-c-01', 'device_rp_uuid': '229bf15f-5689-3d2c-b37b-5c8439ea6a71', 'instance_uuid': '1b090007-791b-4997-af89-0feb886cf11d', 'project_id': None, 'attach_handle_type': 'MDEV', 'attach_handle_uuid': '866bd6a5-b156-4251-a969-64fefb32f16f', 'attach_handle_info': {'asked_type': 'nvidia-566', 'bus': 'ca', 'device': '01', 'domain': '0000', 'function': '1', 'vgpu_mark': 'nvidia-566_0'}, 'links': [{'href': 'http://cyborg-api.openstack.svc.cluster.local:6666/accelerator/v2/accelerato...', 'rel': 'self'}], 'created_at': '2023-09-21T16:38:42+00:00', 'updated_at': '2023-09-21T16:38:42+00:00'}}, ARQs for network:{} _build_resources /var/lib/openstack/lib/python3.10/site-packages/nova/compute/manager.py:2680 So the mdev is then allocated in the resource providers at that point.

Karl from Helm Team. When creating a VM with the correct flavor, the mdev gets created by cyborg agent and I can see it in the nodedev-list --cap mdev. However Nova then fails with: nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed>- - default default] Searching for available mdevs... _get_existing_mdevs_not_assigned /var/lib/openstack/lib/python3.10/site-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py :8357 2023-09-21 14:34:47.808 1901814 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed> - - default default] Available mdevs at: set(). 2023-09-21 14:34:47.809 1901814 DEBUG nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed> - - default default] No available mdevs where found.

I don't exactly remember how Cyborg passes the devices to nova/libvirt but this exception is because none of the available GPUs have either existing mdevs or capability for creating mdevs. You should first check sysfs to double-check the state of our GPU devices in order to understand how much of vGPU capacity you still have. -Sylvain Once this happened, ARQ removes the mdev and cleans up. I’ve got Cyborg 2023.2 running and have a device profile like so: karl@Karls-Air ~ % openstack accelerator device profile show e2b07e11-fe69-4f33-83fc-0f9e38adb7ae +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | created_at | 2023-09-21 13:30:05+00:00 | | updated_at | None | | uuid | e2b07e11-fe69-4f33-83fc-0f9e38adb7ae | | name | VGPU_A40-Q48 | | groups | [{'resources:VGPU': '1', 'trait:CUSTOM_NVIDIA_2235_A40_48Q': 'required'}] | | description | None | +-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ karl@Karls-Air ~ % I can see the allocation candidate: karl@Karls-Air ~ % openstack allocation candidate list --resource VGPU=1 | grep A40 | 41 | VGPU=1 | 229bf15f-5689-3d2c-b37b-5c8439ea6a71 | VGPU=0/1 | OWNER_CYBORG,CUSTOM_NVIDIA_2235_A40_48Q | karl@Karls-Air ~ % Am I missing something critical here?
