Problems on a fresh Centos 7 install

[sambristow-syrp]

I am trying to set up a headless render node for Davinci Resolve running on CentOS 7. The ansible playbook claims that everything ran successfully, but following a reboot I am getting errors from nvidia-persistenced:

• Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon.
• Failed to query NVIDIA devices. Please ensure that the NVIDIA device files (/dev/nvidia*) exist, and that user 0 has read and write permissions for those files.

Environment

v1.0.0-2-g7f66955

CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso

uname -r
3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64

lspci | grep -i --color 'vga|3d|2d'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM200 [GeForce GTX 980 Ti] (rev a1)

Fully up to date packages as at 2019-08-27

Steps

1. Installed Centos minimal config
2. sudo yum upgrade
3. sudo yum install lshw pciutils (for debugging)
4. Added ssh key for Ansible controller
5. Ran the playbook

What logs would be useful to identify what's going wrong?
