I found that some Intel PRO GPU card have SRV-IO without any additional license, but this functionality is supported in Linux kernel 6.12 and up. I hope in new XCP-NG will have 6.12+ and support GPU sharing.

We have few Microsoft Terminal server in our XCP-NG VMs.
When remote users run for example Chrome rendering is very slow - Chrome can use GPU, but XEON server processors don't have this future. At the moment we use Nvidia cards with 8GB RAM in pass-true configuration. I am looking for solution how to use just one more powerful GPU and share it with VM on this XCP-NG node. That is what I am looking for and when XCP-NG will have solution (without additional Nvidia license), we will be very happy. I will be happy with Nvidia, AMD or Inter GPU, that will property works in VMs.

Congratulations to the whole team for the release of the new version XCP-NG 7.5.
Great job.

Hi,

Nice to hear you and hope that XPC-NG shift to "higher gear".

Best regards,
Aleksander

@acebmxer
Thank you for a lot of technical stuff.
We will try in next days with Intel B50 card and will report how to work.

How to run more Windows VM (4+) on same server.
Which GPU card you suggest to use and how to configure XCP-NG for this work. Passthrough is one option (the easy one), but you need separate GPU cards 1xGPU for each Windows VM.
Problem is because XEON server CPU don't have iGPU included.
Do you have any experience with Nvidia, AMD or Intel GPU cards?

Thank you all for information. I will try to virtualize GPU to Windows VMs.

Looking great. Which Nvidia GPU cards are supported?

@michael-manley
Thank you for new realize.
I install it on my PC and connect to my pools.
First impressions are good, works fine, after 1/2 usage I don't get any error of found bug.
I will use this version and report any issues if I found any.

@michael-manley

YES PLEASE make 2024.11 realise of XCP-ng Center for 8.3 version of XCP-ng.
If I can help (and if I know how to do it) please let's me know.

iSCSI possible problem:

I install XCP-NG 7.6-RC1 on 2 node testing pool and I get error when I try to attach iSCSI SR.

"The SR could not ne connected because the drive gfs2 was not recognized.
Check you settings and try again."


I create THICK volume:

With Citrix XEN 7.6 works fine on same QNAP.

Any idea what I do wrong or I encountered an error in XCP-NG 7.6.
