When does this happen?

IF RuntimeError: [SymmDeviceMemory] Device does not support multicasting during vLLM startup with tensor parallelism on multi-GPU setup (e.g., 4xH200/H100) using NVLink.

How others solved it

THEN Disable the fused allreduce RMS optimization by setting the environment variable VLLM_FUSE_ALLREDUCE_RMS=0 before starting vLLM, or downgrade to vLLM version <=0.15.1 where this optimization was not enabled by default. Ensure NVLink is properly configured and recognized by the system if available.

export VLLM_FUSE_ALLREDUCE_RMS=0
vllm serve Qwen3.5-397B-A17B-FP8 --tensor-parallel-size 4
