Yes, I read through this, but it was not of particular help. I have also removed the P4000 and reset the pcidevice-controller addon, which correctly rescans the P40s. I am able to pass the p40's through to a vm without issue and the driver I am using was received from NVIDIA. The issues is that harvester is not recognizing the p40s as a SR-IOV GPU Device. One question: under nvidia-driver-toolkit, where is the 'Image Tag' value coming from? is this set by harvester os, nvidia, or arbitrary?
g
value comes from harvester packaging of addon, and tag is closely tied to release of harvester as it contains the kernel header versions which match exactly the underlying OS
i suspect the p40 is too old to support sriov based vgpu devices
that was introduced on ampere arch and later

@great-bear-19718, thanks for the info on the tag field. According to NVIDIA and Dell documentation, the P40 is vGPU capable, so I am guessing this is a Harvester issue, or possible, I selected the wrong grid driver when registering with NVIDIA, or having more than 1 device installed is not allowed. I selected the standard linux driver. I am just not familiar enough with GPU drivers and linux to troubleshoot this. See Section (3.4.1 PowerEdge T640>Tesla P40 vGPU Matrix: https://dl.dell.com/manuals/common/dell-emc-poweredge-nvidia-vmware-vsphere.pdf )

P40 vGPU is a different class of vGPU.. driver handles it differentlly.. it is not a sriov vgpu device
which is why it is not supported
