Setup Verification
After completing the installation steps above for both hardware and software, follow the steps below to activate and verify your Quadra setup.
- Check the NVMe device presence with the following command:
sudo nvme list
The list of NVMe devices on the system will be displayed.
Look for devices with the Quadra in the Model name. Also, after a reboot is performed (see below), check that the FW Rev is the new firmware version that was installed as part of this release. For example 40064rcD would be the firmware version with release package 4.0.0.
See the example below:
- To run FFmpeg without root privilege, the user needs to be added to the user ‘disk’ group:
sudo usermod -a -G disk $USER
note
If you want to run FFmpeg as root, you can skip this step and use sudo init_rsrc to initialize all Quadra devices.
- Reboot the server (ensuring the system is ready for a reboot)
sudo reboot now
Alternatively, perform a warm/temp upgrade without system reboot. To do that, run
ni_rsrc_update -D
- Initialize Quadra devices with the following command:
init_rsrc
