vGPU Manager Container Base Image for OpenShift Virtualization 4.14+

[mvalsecchi-nv]

The NVIDIA documentation for building the vGPU Manager container in OpenShift Virtualization still instructs users to use a ubi-8 base image.

However, OpenShift 4.14 and newer are RHEL9-based, and should likely use ubi-9 as a base.

From NVIDIA’s documentation:
OpenShift Virtualization vGPU Manager Guide

Open a terminal and clone the driver container image repository:
  git clone https://gitlab.com/nvidia/container-images/driver
  cd driver

Change to the vgpu-manager directory for your OS:
  cd vgpu-manager/rhel8 <============

[...]

docker build \
    --build-arg DRIVER_VERSION=${VERSION} \
    -t ${PRIVATE_REGISTRY}/vgpu-manager:${VERSION}-${OS_TAG} .

Example Dockerfile:

FROM nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:13.0.1-base-ubi8   <=== 

Suggested fix:

Add a RHEL9 Dockerfile extending from ubi-9.

vpu-manager/rhel9/Dockerfile

- FROM nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:13.0.1-base-ubi8
+ FROM nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:XX.Y.Z-base-ubi9

@tariq1890 I'll take care of this one. However, I don’t seem to have the required permissions to assign the issue to myself yet.
