Client cluster access is successfully provided to the GPU resources
7.13 Support for remote clients and bare-metal server
VMware vSphere Bitfusion 2.5 allows you to create tokens to enable clients that are installed on different
vCenter server instances or on a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) container or on a bare-metal client server.
Follow the steps:
1. From the vSphere Client software Menu tab, select Bitfusion.
2. From the Tokens tab, select New Token.
3. In the Create New token dialog box, enter a description of the token and then click Create.
4. Select the token created and click Download. Save the TAR file in the local filesystem.
5. Copy the TAR file to the filesystem of the client machine(s).
6. Extract the contents of the TAR file to the following folders:
a. Copy ca.crt to /etc/bitfusion/tls
b. Copy client.yaml to ~/.bitfusion
c. Copy servers.conf to ~/.bitfusion
7. Open the terminal to add users to the Bitfusion group by running the following command:
sudo usermod -aG bitfusion <username>
8. Optionally, you can verify that the users were successfully added to the vSphere Bitfusion group by
doing the following:
a. Log out and log in to the terminal of the server.
b. Run the groups command. The users and their associated groups are listed.
9. Optionally, you can verify that the VMware vSphere Bitfusion client is working by listing the available
GPUs in the vSphere Bitfusion deployment. To do this, use the bitfusion list_gpus command.
