Installing the GPU Monitoring Plug-in

After the GPU monitoring plug-in is installed on a GPU-accelerated Linux ECS, Cloud Eye provides active and fine-grained GPU monitoring, including collecting GPU metrics and reporting GPU system events.

This section describes how you can use the Cloud Eye Agent installation script to install the new GPU monitoring plug-in on a GPU-accelerated ECS.

Constraints

  • Only ECSs that use certain Linux public images support GPU monitoring.
  • Supported GPU-accelerated ECS specifications: G6v, G6, P2s, P2v, P2vs, G5, Pi2, Pi1 and P1.
  • GPU-accelerated ECSs managed by Cloud Container Engine (CCE) are not supported.

Prerequisites

  • The GPU driver has been installed on an ECS with the lspci tool installed.

    If no GPU driver is installed on your ECS, install one by referring to GPU Driver.

    • Use the default path to install the GPU driver.
    • After the GPU driver is installed, restart the GPU-accelerated ECS. Otherwise, GPU metrics may fail to be collected and GPU events may fail to be reported.
    • After the GPU driver is installed, you can view the collected GPU metric data on the Cloud Eye console within 10 minutes.
  • lspci is installed on the ECS. Otherwise, GPU metric data cannot be collected and GPU events cannot be reported.

    For details about how to install lspci, see Installing lspci.

  • Ensure that you have the read and write permissions on the installation directory of the ECS and that the Telescope process will not be stopped by other software after the installation.

Installing the Plug-in on a Single Node

For details about the installation commands, see Procedure. Replace the version number following -t in the commands with that of the plug-in that collects GPU metrics.

Batch Installing the Plug-in on Multiple Nodes

For details about the installation commands, see Procedure. Replace the version number following -t in the commands with that of the plug-in that collects GPU metrics.

Installing lspci

  1. Log in to the ECS as the root user.
  2. Update the image source.

    wget http://mirrors.myhuaweicloud.com/repo/mirrors_source.sh && bash mirrors_source.sh

  3. Install lspci.
    • CentOS:

      yum install pciutils

    • Ubuntu

      apt install pciutils

  4. Check the installation results.

    lspci -d 10de:

    If the command is not displayed after Ispci is installed, restart the ECS.
