Dear stv0g,

Need Help …

we are trying to use “gpushare-scheduler-extender” from Alibaba in our on-premise Z2JH cluster. Getting the following error.

“Error: failed to start container “notebook”: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container\_linux.go:349: starting container process caused “process\_linux.go:449: container init caused “process\_linux.go:432: running prestart hook 0 caused \“error running hook: exit status 1, stdout: , stderr: nvidia-container-cli: device error: no-gpu-has-1MiB-to-run: unknown device\\n\”””: unknown”

configuration used in config.yaml: (snippet)

Please kindly assist us to configure Z2JH to use “gpushare-scheduler-extender” from Alibaba in our on-premise cluster. can you share config.yaml syntax to configure Z2JH to use “[aliyun.com/gpu-mem:](http://aliyun.com/gpu-mem:) 1” resource limit …

Thanks in advance …
