I used this driverpackage "NVIDIA-vGPU-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-550.54.16.x86_64.iso" and installed the vgpu source with "rpm -ihv vgpu-7.4.8-1.x86_64.rpm" this I have got from the Citrix installation iso.
The binary 7.4.13 should used for the Xcp-ng 8.3 release not for the 8.2.1.
The Problem from my earlier post is also solved, a new created vm was working. some copies from a another host does not work. perhaps there some driverconflicts in this Windows Vm.

@mgformula i can take a look at my setup tomorrow, currently all runs fine.
8.2.1 with Tesla m10 will work with the correct drivers an patches.
Thanks...
I tried at first the driver from above:
NVIDIA-GRID-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-550.54.10-550.54.14-551.61
what doesn’t work.
After this I have found the newer Version:
NVIDIA-GRID-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-550.54.16-550.54.15-551.78
Now the Error on VM startup does not came up and the driver installation in the VM works.
The Driver packages what are specially for Xenserver8 are not installable on the Xcp-NG Version 8.2.1 because the different Base "https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/80461https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/80461"
now I get one VM working with a vGPU but a second one does not detect the mapped vGPU and the windows driver cant be installed
I am currently not sure why this happens, because a copy of the working one with another vGPU config will work.
The Xentools and Windowsversions are the same and the template also
the vGPU rpm is installable without any problems
I am currently trying to get a NVIDIA Telsa M10 working with the latest updated Xcp-ng 8.2.1 Build Date 2024-07-17.
The Drivers "NVIDIA-vGPU-xenserver-8-550.54.10.x86_64.rpm" are installed and the system was rebooted. Now it is possible to select a vGPU via XOA for the VM.
Further the extracted vgpu file from the CitrixHypervisor-8.2.0-install-cd.iso was copied to /usr/lib64/xen/bin/vgpu and is executable.
The Start of the VM exited with:
"FAILED_TO_START_EMULATOR(OpaqueRef:0cc388f0-b606-469d-b68c-b4713c7f4abb, vgpu, Daemon exited unexpectedly)
"
Is there someone who has solved this Problem?

the columns with the wait timings are much higher than the from the fast host
that’s very strange from my point of view.
further the CPU stat does not shows correct values because the fast host was at the time of the command under heavy load with about 80%.
on the slow was some load but there the CPU is much stronger
@bleader: the comand "get-cpufreq-average" gives no output at all.
@Affonso thanks for this...
doese the cpu boost the frequency on load or is the cpu permanetly on 2,7ghz

that is correct, but there are no errors in the storage system. the raid is built with two Raid 10 arrays SAS disks. the performance should be there.
a better question should be, how to figure it out driver issues?
The issue with the CPU looks strange and i don´t know how to find out why the cpu data could be not show with xenpm
I think I will make some test with a linux vm look how the performance is there.
@olivierlambert I think it could be both... but how can i figure it out where are the this came from?
it is a fresh installed system.
I have checked the BIOS: PowerManament is set to static Performance
there was no change...
the CPU parameter are still not avail
further the HDD load in the VM is strange, the disk load is without any started app permanently at 100%
High Disk load without any started app:
high CPU load after start without any started app:
