Virtualization of Tesla T4 - Hyper-V

Virtual GPU Forums General Discussion

Hello.
I’m new to this vGPU world and I’m setting a server 1x Tesla T4 . I had to install windows server 2019 with Hyper-V and configured it with Discrete Device Assignment (DDA). It’s working but, now we would like to “split” the GPU into multiple vGPU to distribute the GPU across multiple VMs running on the host.

We have read documention about on nvidia website but still don’t get it.
Tried to deploy a licence server also(with qDWS), but when deploying the licence on the host, still getting only 1 gpu?

Can someone light us and help us to have a clear view about what is possible in our case .Thanks and regards

Hi Greg

Unfortunately, you’re using the only Hypervisor that doesn’t support GPU Virtualisation. Your only option with Hyper-V is Passthrough (DDA) which means either RDSH workloads, or 1:1 allocation for higher performance workloads.

ESXi, XenServer, KVM, AHV all support vGPU. If vGPU is a requirement, you’ll need to use one of those.

Hello MGrid

Thank you very much .we will run ESXi for that

Not that I care, since I’ve switched away from Hyper-V, but that sucks for those folks!
