Health check for GPUs

Note

Use one of the following utilities to check the GPU health status. Make sure to update GPU driver, which includes the following utilities required. Latest driver can be found at Drivers and Software download website for ThinkSystem SR680a V4.
For more information about System Management Interface (SMI) information, see NVIDIA System Management Interface.

nvidia-smi
Run the nvidia-smi utility to display the eight GPUs online.
Figure 1. nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi -L
Run the nvidia-smi -L utility to display the eight GPUs online with UUID.
Figure 2. nvidia-smi -L
nvidia-smi -q --id=1 -f <output file name>
Run the nvidia-smi -q --id=1 -f <output file name> utility to export GPU inventory information.
Type the desired file name in <output file name> to store the output. For example: nvidia-smi -q --id=1 -f /tmp/queryoam1.txt.
