Verify Confidential Computing is enabled on GPUs
Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

After completing the configuration steps, verify that your GPU is correctly operating in confidential computing mode:

Verify that the nvidia-persistenced service is running with uvm-persistence-mode enabled:
```
ps aux | grep nvidia-persistenced | grep -v grep
```
The output is similar to the following:
```
nvidia-+     729  6.2  0.0   5468  1664 ?  Ss   12:02   0:10
/usr/bin/nvidia-persistenced \
--user nvidia-persistenced \
--uvm-persistence-mode \
--verbose
```
Caution: Don't restart the nvidia-persistenced service after enabling uvm-persistence-mode, as this can disrupt the secure connection and require a VM reboot.
Confirm that the GPU is running in confidential computing mode:
```
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -f
```
The output is similar to the following:
```
CC status: ON
```
Set GPU to ready state after each reboot.
```
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -srs 1
```
Verify Confidential Computing ready state.
```
sudo nvidia-smi conf-compute -grs
```
If you transition a GPU out of the ready state using nvidia-smi conf-compute -srs 0, reboot the VM instance to return the GPU to the ready state.

The output is similar to the following:
```
Confidential Compute GPUs Ready state: ready
```
