Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCP-AII exam
Question #: 170
Topic #: 1
A customer reports that after installing an additional NVIDIA GPU into their existing AI server, they are experiencing IOMMU related errors during VM startup that leverage GPU pass-through. The error message indicates a problem with address translation. Which troubleshooting steps should be taken? (Select TWO)

Suggested Answer: B,C Vote an answer

IOMMU errors often stem from incorrect configuration or outdated firmware. Disabling IOMMU is generally not recommended as it reduces security. Ensuring IOMMIJ is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI and kernel command line is crucial. Updating the BIOS/IJEFI addresses potential bugs in IOMMU implementation. While memory allocation could be a factor, it is not the most likely immediate cause. Reinstalling drivers within the VM is less likely to resolve IOMMU-related errors.
