Grid Question of K2 (vSGA / vDGA)
Hi guys,.
I have a few basic questions about the card grid K2 and their deployment vSGA / vDGA
We have a lot of 5.5 equipped 2 physical VMware graphics acceleration of NVidia type K2 GRID cards.
If I go on the PCI device settings of the vmware host, then I see 4 four pci devices to allocate to the virtual machines:
Now, I am a little confused because I though that I could devote only a single physical grid K2 card to a virtual machine via vDGA.
Why I see four devices? These are the cores of Kepler (2 per card K2). I tried to run 3 VMs (each with one assigned grid K2 unit), and it worked.
How many virtual machines I could if I use vSGA deployment of two grid K2 physical cards?
I also see a bug. If I allocate a virtual machine to a network K2 device, then I can no longer connect to the virtual machine using the vmware console, is this normal?
The standard vga adapter is always present in the virtual machine. I just see the Windows 7 boot screen.
Best regards
Viktor
Hi Viktor, and welcome to the VMware communities.
You're right, every K2 have GPU:s 2, each GPU can be dedicated to a guest in your case, you can use 4 comments with dedicated GPU:s
How many virtual machines I could if I use vSGA deployment of two grid K2 physical cards?
It depends, with vSGA you are limited to the amount of RAM. On K2, you have 8 GB of memory on each map, you can maximum have 512 MB for each guest and half will come from the graphic ram. So, in this example with your config, you'll be able to start the 64 comments but the practical limit depend on the request of the guests.
I also see a bug. If I allocate a virtual machine to a network K2 device, then I can no longer connect to the virtual machine using the vmware console, is this normal?
Yes this is normal when you use vDGA, you can use RDP or VNC in the case where you need to administer the virtual machine outside the PCoIP session.

vSGA / vDGA Hybrid Configuration
Hello
I'm facing a customer who wants to give hardware acceleration for workstations Windows and Linux on a single server with a single graphics card. My immediate suggestion was that we use the latest Tesla M60 full control in a vGPU configuration which, assuming a compatible Linux distribution, will be able to provide acceleration in two flavours of the OS.
However, perhaps is a more cost-effective solution to install an old GRID K1 card in the unit, and using the has vDGA for Linux desktops (present since 6.1 I think) I could go through a GPU directly in to each Linux workstation. However, let's say for example I have 4 desktop Windows and 2 Linux workstations on a server. Map of K1 has 4 GPU, so could I go through 2 of the GPU in the 2 Linux workstations and share then 2 other GPUS between the 4 GPU Windows in a vSGA configuration?
I guess, in short, that my question is - if I install the vSGA VIB software driver in ESXi host, will still be able to cross PCI on the map, or the hypervisor will remove these devices in the list of those available?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
Two points:
1. be very careful with the K1s - these GPU's are very low performance. If you are wanting to acceleration for something like the Aero desktop computers / transparent windows and other things, of course, they are fine. If you are wanting to do serious 3d games or things, you are probably disappointed. In this case, I highly recommend the M60
2. you can do VDGA and VGPU or VSGA on the same host. That means VGPU and VSGA are mutually exclusive. Other than that, you can split their place however desired. Cross the first 2 GPU directly and the other have 2 do VSGA or VGPU...
3. I saw almost no difference between VDGA and VGPU executing field trials of 3d. I see no real reason to bother with VDGA on VGPU. That said, VSGA is a defined performance has hit, but according to what you do, may be tolerable. At least you can vmotion with VSGA.

11.2.0.1.0 grid questions
I was installing 11.2.0.1.0 grid Infrastructure, but he came to the conclusion that it does not work on Oracle Linux 6
Are a lot of discussions about this, but all of them are archived.
But I don't understand the solution. It says to download 11.2.0.3.0 patch. Yes, logic.
But it's the 11.2.0.3.0 regular patch of the database? Thus grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1.0 is a separate download and any higher version 11 g of GI, is included in the normal database software?

At home, I have 11.2.0.1 running on EL 6.5 with no problems. For the 11.2.0.3, there will be several downloadable files and I guess, the number 3 and 4 are no doubt IM downloads. So if you have access to MOS, download from here.

To use the new features of fluid grid, you must set a gutter for the columns. Does to styling a pain unless I'm missing something. You end up with this:
I want to add a gradient background to separate columns 1 and 2. With a standard layout, I am not facing in the gutters, revealing the background content between the elements.
There the work around for this s? I can manually build the fluid layout, but then I lose really clever can just click and drag around the elements visually in Dreamweaver design view.
Thank you.
FGrid layouts are a good jump start for the creation of suitable facilities. But if you want to drag a div around the screen, you have to accept their limitations.
Use them for the process of creation of database layout. Once you are completely satisfied with the basic configurations, you can manually modify code (if you must) to remove the gutter margins. And use a separate stylesheet for your content.
If/when you're exasperated with the limits imposed by the FGLayouts, there are several other executives & extensions to try.

question General vSGA and vDGA
Hello
Need to clear somethings
If I have a server with 1 x grid K2 card and to use graphics hardware acceleration that I need to either install the driver ESXi Nvidia vSGA or vDGA right?
If I choose to install the driver nvidia for vDGA I can only configure 2 vms for this dedicated right GUs?
If I choose to install the driver nvidia for vSGA I set up as mush as the memory on the NIC and host memory are able to right? (half mem GPU, mem half host)
What is the main difference between K1 and K2 of the grill rack, is just that the K2 2 GPU?
No matter what expirience with the help of CAD applications on vSGA, im thinking performance etc... problems a user of CAD often must be vDGA (I know it depends on the application, but what's your expirience)?
> If I have a server with 1 x grid K2 card and I have to use graphics hardware acceleration either to install ESXi Nvidia driver for vSGA or vDGA right?
VSGA to install a VIB (pilot) from Nvidia, for vDGA that you don't need to install any driver on the ESX, but in the virtual machine.
> If I choose to install the driver nvidia for vDGA I can only configure 2 vms for this dedicated right GUs?
Correct, but you could also have a configured with vDGA and one with the vSGA
> If I choose to install the driver nvidia for vSGA I can configure as mush as the memory on the NIC and host memory are able to right? (half mem GPU, mem half host)
You can assign max 512 MB to each virtual machine, half will come from the GPU, the other half of the memory of guests as overhead.
> What is the main difference between K1 and K2 of the grill rack, is that only the K2 has 2 GPU?
K2 have 2 GPU:s and 8 GB of memory, K1 4 GPU:s and 16 GB of memory. The GPU:s are very different, but, the K2 have 2 Quadro K5000 and K1 have 4 Quadro K600.
> Any expirience with the help of CAD applications on vSGA, im thinking performance etc... problems a user of CAD often must vDGA (I know it depends on the application, but what's your expirience)?
I have some experience and to be honest its very difficult to say at the outset that the technology that will be more suitable. I recommend to install a few test machines and let real users to evaluate.
For one of my clients, they found the solution not to appropriate to their main designers but are several other usecases, teleworkers, construction sites, scenarios of training partner, access, etc. that makes the very successful solution.
You could also have a look at the newly announced Nvidia vGPU technology that will be available with vSphere 6.

Hi guys,.
I have set up on my card GRID K2 vSGA and vDGA.
I have a desktop dedicated with 1 GPU attached and with dxdiag appears Nvidia GRID K2.
I have several offices shared using vSGA.
Both work as expected.
However when I go to the command line and run the command of nvidia-smi it shows only 1 on the GPU. Now I know what GPU covers desktop vSGA because if I run an application in one of these workstations GPU-Util increases. So why I don't see the use of the GPU vDGA / not even arises? Is this a normal behavior? If so, how can I see the performance of the dedicated GPU?
Thank you very much
This is normal/expected since the ESX do not see the GPU that you went through to the virtual machine with vDGA.
To vDGA, you will need to get inside the virtual machine statistics.

Hello
We have a demo environment with view Horizon 6.0.1 2 ESxi hosts and one with K1 and K2 of the grid grid.
I got network cards to work, but I have a few questions, or configuration issues.
On the virtual machine that we want to use to vDGA I'm not sure what to have configured under video card, the only thing that works is like the image below.
But this is a strange problem. If I configure the VM as the image and then starts the virtual machine immediately, it works fine. If I wait 10 to 20 seconds before you start the VM or ig I stop the virtual machine and start it again, it fails with the following error
If I then check the settings of the virtual machine, I see that he has changed it follows automatically
So my question is what am I doing wrong? Also what about 512 memory, expected it be an another setting on it?
IM new to vDGA and vSGA so always learn.
Don't know what the problem was, but I created a new virtual machine, and then the configuration has been authorized. So I guess that where there is something corrupt with as a.

Hi all
We can add a button to the BP to approve Budget so that it can read all the charges in question cost journal line and auto fill on the grid.
Let's say I have a cost with 5 code cost journal
Code 1 price
2 cost code
Code 3 cost
Code 4 cost
Code 5 cost
BP budget approval, after that I click on New, can I add a button to the tab the line items so that when I click on this button, it reads all codes of cost in the cost journal and auto fill on the grid?
You can create a new 'model' BP for this purpose. Line item type. Then add a line manually with a cost on each code. Then you can use the copy in your BP BA record consolidate the function to copy the line items to the new folder of BP (including all cost codes) into your folder of BA. That is to set up a model record once with all cost codes and then copy consolidate billing it to all lines new record of BA. would this work?

Is it possible to change the type of jobs of work virtual view of 3D graphics acceleration?
I mean if I have a VM configured for VSGA and only for a period of time they need a VDGA and at the end of the graphic intensive work they need to return to VSGA is possible?
Yes but it takes some downtime and manual configuration of the parameters of the virtual machine.
(Unless you do a few scripts around it and automate it somehow.)

This is a silly question, but I can't fix it! The icons that appear on my pictures I change them, have disappeared. The only way I can see them is in the grid.
How can I get the icons on the miniature pictures of the gallery full loaded? TIA =)
You probably dragged the thumbnail size film of small size which prevents the display of the badges of Lightroom. Using your mouse, the mouse on the top line of the strip of film and then do slide it supports to increase the size.

Stupid question: is there a way to align the grids online Adobe?
While I'm able to line up on the bumper of the drawn objects, this behavior does not appear to be translated to the grids. Is there an additional parameter which must be running in order to align the grids on the canvas? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question and thanks in advance.
Hi there crwinchester!
Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry for the very late reply. While you can't snap to grid itself, you can use the slide or the sovereign built into Illustrator Draw drawing and vector design app | Download Adobe Illustrator to draw to align specific or arbitrary angles angles.
