Host AMD SMI Versions
- Library: 33.1.3
- Tool: 27.8.0
Since the last release, the library and tool will be automatically installed when installing the gim-dkms package—manual build step is no longer required.
If you manually copied AMD SMI tool/library to /usr, you may need to reset the ldconfig cache and/or remove the AMD SMI files under /usr.
Getting Started
Please check out our User Guide for instructions on how to set up GIM and example configurations to run SR-IOV enabled VMs.
Known Issues
- Ubuntu kernel
6.8.0-64and6.14.0-24and possibly other kernels on other distros have a regression.
Please update to a later kernel that contains the fix. - For V710, the VF active time reported by
amd-smiis not accurate.
