v0.1.0

First release. A small, idempotent installer for headless multi-GPU NVSwitch boxes (A100/H100 SXM, e.g. AWS p4d/p4de/p5) on stock Ubuntu.

Install

sudo apt-get install -y ./nvidia-nvswitch-setup_0.1.0_all.deb
sudo nvidia-nvswitch-setup            # auto-pick newest matched branch
sudo nvidia-nvswitch-setup --dry-run  # show the plan, change nothing

What it does

  • Auto-selects the newest driver branch whose server-open driver and nvidia-fabricmanager versions match exactly (FM refuses to start otherwise).
  • Installs the lean headless server-open set (no X11).
  • Verifies the DKMS kernel module actually built for the running kernel before declaring success — so you don't get a "successful" install with no usable GPUs.
  • Starts Fabric Manager (required to initialize the NVSwitch fabric).

No driver version is pinned, so the package does not rot as new branches ship.
Verified on an 8× A100-SXM4-80GB host (kernel 6.17, driver 595.71.05).
