@omarabdalla-7557 Apologies for the delay in response and all the inconvienience caused because of the issue.

To take advantage of the GPU capabilities of Azure N-series VMs, NVIDIA or AMD GPU drivers must be installed.You can refer to this article to understand more about the installation part.

Below are the deployment consideration for GPU deployment:

  • For availability of N-series VMs, see Products available by region.

  • N-series VMs can only be deployed in the Resource Manager deployment model.

  • N-series VMs differ in the type of Azure Storage they support for their disks. NC and NV VMs only support VM disks that are backed by Standard Disk Storage (HDD). NCv2, NCv3, ND, NDv2, and NVv2 VMs only support VM disks that are backed by Premium Disk Storage (SSD).

-If you want to deploy more than a few N-series VMs, consider a pay-as-you-go subscription or other purchase options. If you're using an Azure free account, you can use only a limited number of Azure compute cores.

  • You might need to increase the cores quota (per region) in your Azure subscription, and increase the separate quota for NC, NCv2, NCv3, ND, NDv2, NV, or NVv2 cores. To request a quota increase, open an online customer support request at no charge. Default limits may vary depending on your subscription category.

In your case there is a possibility that what Subscription you are using since based upon the type of subscription the experience may vary.You can refer to this for more information.

To understand about availability as per region you can refer to this article.


Hope it helps!!!

@prmanhas-MSFT, your answer helped a lot! The problem I was facing was that I was starting my GPU-enabled VM while one of my other VMs (non-GPU) was still running and connected. I guess the quota for total cores exceeded and the GPU-enabled VM started without a real GPU attached. I stopped-deallocated the other VM and then tried deallocating and reallocating the GPU VM and it worked! NVv4 class partial-GPU VMs used to have a bug last year where this would happen for some reason, but the bug was fixed last year. So now when the GVM started without a GPU, my worry was that the bug had reappeared! Thankfully, it was just my total cores quota... Would request a quota increase someday, so that I may be able to use both my development-related VMs (one with virtualization, another with GPU; sadly, there's no one machine type that offers both, but I'm okay with that) at the same time... Anyway, thanks for your detailed answer; it should be marked as such by the OP.
