To tailor to various needs, we have made available a range of vGPU profiles as shown below:

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions to Add vGPU profile

This how-to provides the steps to request a Virtual Graphic Processing Unit via the command line interface (vss-cli).

1. Run vss-cli configure to configure your VSS credentials. If you have already done this, please go to next step.

2. Verify you have access to compute cluster FD6. If you do not have access, please reach out to vss@eis.utoronto.ca

   Code Block
   vss-cli compute domain get FD6

3. Make sure your Virtual Machine is running on FD6, if it is, proceed to next step. If it is not, please execute the following command:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} domain FD6

4. Shut down or power off your virtual machine:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} state shutdown

5. Add the required vGPU profile, which in this example will create a grid_p6-4a, which is a 4GB for virtual applications:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} gpu mk --profile grid_p6-4a

6. If the requested profile is available, the request will succeed and you can proceed to power the virtua machine on:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} state on

7. Once the virtual machine powers on, refer to How To -to configure and licence a provisioned vGPU to complete the GPU driver installation and licensing.

\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions to remove vGPU profile

1. Run vss-cli configure to configure your VSS credentials. If you have already done this, please go to next step.

2. Shut down or power off your virtual machine:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} state shutdown

3. Remove the existing GPU profile as follows:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} gpu rm

4. Power on your virtual machine:

   Code Block
   vss-cli --wait compute vm set {vm-id-or-name} state on
