Hello All,
at the moment we are evaluating the vGPU feature for a customer to get a 3D-CAD-VDI-Environment up an running.
But for now I’m stuck with the basic installtion/configuration of the NVIDIA-driver.
I installed the newest version (NVIDIA-VMware_ESXi_6.5_Host_Driver_384.73-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673.vib) sucessfully.
Also the output of ‘nvidia-smi’ looks quite good:

But when I try to run a VM with a vGPU assigned to, it won’t start.
After some research it seems that the M10 is not supported:
[root@HV04:~] nvidia-smi vgpu
#0, Device not supported
#1, Device not supported
#2, Device not supported
#3, Device not supported
Not supported on the device(s)
So what can I do now? Can somebody please help or give a hint?
Cheers
Benjamin
