Verify Confidential Computing is enabled on GPUs
Stay organized with collections

After completing the configuration steps , verify that your GPU is correctly
operating in confidential computing mode:
Verify that the nvidia-persistenced
service is running with
uvm-persistence-mode
enabled:
ps aux | grep nvidia-persistenced | grep -v grep
The output is similar to the following:
nvidia-+ 729 6 .2 0 .0 5468 1664 ? Ss 12 :02 0 :10
/usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced \
--user nvidia-persistenced \
--uvm-persistence-mode \
--verbose
Caution: Don't restart the nvidia-persistenced
service after enabling
uvm-persistence-mode
, as this can disrupt the secure connection and
require a VM reboot.
Confirm that the GPU is running in confidential computing mode:
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -f
The output is similar to the following:
CC status: ON
Set GPU to ready state after each reboot.
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -srs 1
Verify Confidential Computing ready state.
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -grs
If you transition a GPU out of the ready state using
nvidia-smi conf-compute -srs 0
, reboot the VM instance to return the GPU
to the ready state.
The output is similar to the following:
Confidential Compute GPUs Ready state: ready
