I’m having a strange issue with vGPU and windows 10. I set up vGPU per documention included with the ESXI VIB. When I try to login the first time(horizon client or zero client) I get a black screen for about 15-20 second, then the connection server then closes the connection. I reinitiate the login, I get a black screen for about 5 seconds, then get a mouse curser, and the windows 10 ‘welcome’ screen. I can confirm VGPU with nvidia-SMI. Our test pool is set to delete on logoff, so I’m not guaranteed the same VM on every login, something interesting I’ve noticed: Once I’ve logged into the first VM, I can log into 2-3 more VMs without getting the black screen issue, but on the 4th VM, I’ll get it. Since the VMs delete on logoff, I know I’m not getting the same VMs on every login. I’ve opened tickets with both VMware, and Dell(OEM vender). VMware believes it’s an issue with a driver or the card itself. I’ve also opened a ticket with Dell(oem vender) in hopes of getting some tech support from NVidia, the Dell tech tells me he can’t do that and my understanding is that’s the only real route into support under the K1 support structure, so I’m at a loss at this point.
