We have upgraded a workstation node with a NVIDIA RTX2080 to Windows 1909. Since this upgrade the Cluster Manger of the HPC Pack 2016 U3 didn't show any GPU information about this node. We found out that Windows 10 1909 comes with an newer NVIDIA driver where the nvidia-smi.exe isn't in place where the HPC Pack search for it. It's now in C:\Windows\System32 and not in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI.
Is there any way to fix this issue so that the HPC Pack software search for the nvidia-smi.exe to report the gpu to the Cluster Manager?
A workaround is to uninstall the newer driver and install an older one.
Got my answer here. I have to add a registry key ‘NvmlPath’ under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HPC with a string value for C:\Windows\System32, and then restart HpcManagement service.
