Offline Install gpu-operator Driver on Ubuntu 22.04

Prerequisite: Installed gpu-operator v23.9.0+2 or higher versions

Prepare Offline Image

  1. Check the kernel version

    $ uname -r
5.15.0-78-generic

  2. Check the GPU Driver image version applicable to your kernel, at https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/driver/tags. Use the kernel to query the image version and save the image using ctr export.

    ctr i pull nvcr.io/nvidia/driver:535-5.15.0-78-generic-ubuntu22.04
ctr i export --all-platforms driver.tar.gz nvcr.io/nvidia/driver:535-5.15.0-78-generic-ubuntu22.04

  3. Import the image into the cluster's container registry

    ctr i import driver.tar.gz
ctr i tag nvcr.io/nvidia/driver:535-5.15.0-78-generic-ubuntu22.04 {your_registry}/nvcr.m.daocloud.io/nvidia/driver:535-5.15.0-78-generic-ubuntu22.04
ctr i push {your_registry}/nvcr.m.daocloud.io/nvidia/driver:535-5.15.0-78-generic-ubuntu22.04 --skip-verify=true
