cuda.bindings.nvml.vgpu_instance_get_vm_driver_version(unsigned int vgpu_instance) → str#

Retrieve the NVIDIA driver version installed in the VM associated with a vGPU.

The version is returned as an alphanumeric string in the caller-supplied buffer version. The length of the version string will not exceed 80 characters in length (including the NUL terminator). See nvmlConstants::NVML_SYSTEM_DRIVER_VERSION_BUFFER_SIZE. vgpu_instance_get_vm_driver_version() may be called at any time for a vGPU instance. The guest VM driver version is returned as “Not Available” if no NVIDIA driver is installed in the VM, or the VM has not yet booted to the point where the NVIDIA driver is loaded and initialized. For Kepler ™️ or newer fully supported devices.

Parameters:: vgpu_instance (unsigned int) – Identifier of the target vGPU instance.
Returns:: Caller-supplied buffer to return driver version string.
Return type:: char
