XenServer 6.2 does not show nvidia kernel module after installing nVIDIA vGPU Drivers Dell R720

While Trying to setup Dell R720 with NVIDIA Grid K2  for XenServer 6.2 SP1
It may happen that after you install the nvidia driver and reboot the server , the module for nvidia is not recognized .
To verify the install after reboot you may run the following command
 lsmod | grep nvidia

If it does not find any module then we may have to disable one setting in System BIOS for Dell R720 server.

This is the setting you need to disable. (Memory Mapped I/O above 4GB)

You can find it Under > System BIOS > Integrated Devices >



After the server come back online , you can run the following command to verify the module was loaded fine

lsmod | grep nvidia

The output should be something like

nvidia               9626462  26
i2c_core               20294  1 nvidia


Verify that the NVIDIA kernel driver can successfully communicate with the GRID physical GPUs in your system by running the nvidia-smi command.

The output should look like:

One of our servers was losing the Local Admin settings as we control them using GPO (restricted Groups) We were receiving the following event on this particular server : Event ID 4098 Application Event Log The computer 'Administrators (built-in)' preference item in the 'Servers Local Admins {odjd9DBD-22AF-48EA-ADF5-F42ADE4182hst}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.'
