XCP-ng GPU Passthrough - No GPU found
-
Ironically, I am trying to do this as well. I put a second graphics card in a host (NVIDIA NVS 510) and made sure the appropriate virtalization settings were enabled in the BIOS. Running up to date XCP-ng 8.0 (yum update as of yesterday afternoon). I can assign the GPU to the Windows Server 2016 guest in XCP-ng Center, and the NVIDIA drivers seem to install fine, but Device Manager reports the following:
What's also interesting is even though it warns that you must be able to access the VM remotely as there will be no local console, there is still a local console. I don't know if this means anything.
Any ideas?

@anthonyh Google code 43 NVIDIA...... Basic translation is we want to stop you doing this with a consumer card in a VM. There are solutions I believe.
-
Yes, using Nvidia card supporting GPU passthrough
Otherwise, there's "border line" patches on Windows drivers available on GitHub, but we won't find those for you
-
@linhnb don't think you can use the GUI for GPUs, only vGPUs.
RX580 does work, just follow the PCI passthrough guide.
-
AMD cards are indeed far better for both vGPU and GPU passthrough: it just works.
-
If only they made a LP vGPU card.... Looks like a WX4100 will have to do.

@anthonyh yeah, I also got this note in version 8.1. I just don't know why. But my VM can't see Rx580, that's the problem
@olivierlambert man, please, I got problem right here with AMD GPU. Please help.
@jmccoy555 You can use the GUI. I checked, the code changes as if you do make it in CLI. please check the newest version 8.1

Well, this card is technically in the Quadro family, so I was hoping it'd work. I see solutions for libvirt/KVM, but not Xen. Any "nudge" would be greatly appreciated if anyone is willing. This is just a test environment. If the application works in this setup we'll buy proper hardware and go the AMD route.

I think I might have found the GitHub driver patch @olivierlambert was referring to...

Thanks for the tip!! Working in 8.1 in XCP-ng Center and also XO
Also, dont think there is a need to 'hide' the GPU from Dom0 now??
edit: Did a fresh install, no need to 'xen-pciback.hide' when assigning via XO or XCP-ng center. This was with AMD as they play nicely, not sure about NVIDIA.

@jmccoy555 You got nvidia GPU working in VM?
-
@imtrobin No, AMD. Currently a WX4100 (as its LP and fits into a 2U server) but have also had a RX580 working before.
