Installing the NPU Driver by Starting a Container Using Docker or Kubernetes

  • If the server contains Docker, kernel-headers, and kernel-dev, you can start the ascend-npu-driver-installer container to install the NPU driver.
  • If you have a Kubernetes cluster, you can use Kubernetes to start pods to install the NPU driver on all nodes.

This operation is incompatible with NPU driver installation using MindCluster Ascend Deployer. That is, after the NPU driver is installed using a container, MindCluster Ascend Deployer cannot be used for upgrade or check.
