Minikube installation on Azure VM - NV6 #4804
Comments

Apparently it is supported on some sizes (Dv3/Ev3) of virtual machines: If it is supported, then the normal VT-x/AMD-v detection should see it... |

I don't have Azure access to help, but do you mind sharing the output of:
It'd be good to see what error shows up currently. I know that minikube w/ kvm2 and virtualbox works really well under GCE, so hopefully Azure will work similarly well. |

WS-DSVMUser@WorkplaceSafety-KubeVM:~$ minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=1
X Unable to start VM: Error getting state for host: getting connection: looking up domain: virError(Code=42, Domain=10, Message='Domain not found: no domain wit h matching name 'minikube'')

@tstromberg above is the output - when i run " minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=1" |
|
Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'minikube' indicates that the VM was not created. I was able to run minikube on a Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GiB memory) VM with kvm2 driver. But for this scenario it seems a lot better to provision an Azure VM for cluster workload instead of nested virtualization. |

@ashwini-git - There are limited series which support Nested Virtualization in Azure. Following is a list (Anything 3 stars *** ) supports nested virtualization - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/acu Can you try creating a VM from that series and then see if it is working? |

@blueelvis I require gpu enabled computing on my kubernetes cluster , as D and E series Azure VMs are not gpu enabled , how m supposed to achive that if i install Minikube there. Azure does provide Kuberenetes services , we are trying to avoid it since it bit costly. |
|
Probably better to avoid nested virtualization wherever possible, and look into other options... Such as https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/vmdriver-none.md |
|
+1 for none driver. |

Hi , I used None driver approach and now kubectl is configured . I can see a Master node created. Is there any details on to setup gpu plugin in this case ? |
|
There should be an entry for "none" as well: |

i followed the instructions at -https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/gpu.md#using-nvidia-gpu-on-minikube-on-linux-with---vm-drivernone when i try to view the status of deployment as from - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/gpu-cluster#view-the-status-and-output-of-the-gpu-enabled-workload i get the error : ------- Below is the Node description FYR. root@WorkplaceSafety-KubeVM:~# kubectl describe node MemoryPressure False Wed, 31 Jul 2019 08:39:07 +0000 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:22:26 +0000 KubeletHasSufficientMemory kubelet has sufficient memory available default hello-minikube-64c7df9db-5d6rl 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 24h cpu 755m (12%) 0 (0%) |

Could you check if the node has the
{
"cpu": "6",
"ephemeral-storage": "30308240Ki",
"hugepages-1Gi": "0",
"hugepages-2Mi": "0",
"memory": "57688264Ki",
"nvidia.com/gpu": "1",
"pods": "110"
}
If it didn't show in the output, you need to use the nvidia CUDA driver and container runtime
{
"default-runtime": "nvidia",
"runtimes": {
"nvidia": {
"path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime",
"runtimeArgs": []
}
}
}
Check the node capacity again and you should be able to use GPU in your minikube cluster. |

The new documentation gives more guidance as to what is required for minikube to run in the cloud: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/linux/ minikube v1.4 also gives better error behavior for these cases. Closing as apparently a workaround has been found. |
I am working onto install Minikube on Azure VM - Ubuntu - NV6 .
I installed KVM2 driver , now as mentioned in the document it is required t have VT-x/AMD-v virtualization enabled in BIOS .
Question - How do i know if Azure VM - NV6 supports VT-x/AMD-v virtualization ? If it not by default , how can i enable it?
I also installed Minikube using curl , but it throws error if i try to start Minikube.
Any help would be much appreciated.
