I read from this thread that the minimum requirements are CUDA 10.2+ and nvidia-driver 440.33+
Hence I believe the hardware meets the requirements
I am running Paraview 5.10.1 EGL on the headless box
I am connecting to the remote headless box using Paraview 5.10.1 MPI on a Ubuntu 18.04 box
When I try to load the IndeX plugin on the remote headless box, I get the following errors
I am able to perform remote rendering successfully with this setup, I only started looking into Nvidia IndeX today.
-----------------------------------------------------
By loading the 'pvNVIDIAIndeX' plugin you have accepted the EULA shipped with it.
If that is not acceptable, please restart the application without loading
the 'pvNVIDIAIndeX' plugin.

( 654.606s) [paraview ] vtkSIProxy.cxx:422 ERR| vtkSIProxy (0x24041e0): Failed to create 'vtknvindex_global_settings'. This typically means that ParaView does not know about the request class to create an instance of if. Ensure that it has been correctly wrapped using the client-server wrappers and the wrapping has been initialized. Note class names are case-sensitive. Check for typos. Aborting for debugging purposes.
