    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 betas and RCs feedback 🚀

      Ok, update on the update issues:
      I could not migrate VMs from the older backup server which was upgraded to 8.3 RC1 back to 8.2 install, so I'm forced with having to continue troubleshooting it.
      Today I tried to start a CD install from efi shell and I finally got an error / output as to why install fails silently:

      "This build of Xen requires NX support"

      I guess I had it disabled in the BIOS, just wish the install would have output the error with a wait prompt or something, rather than a silent failure.

      Edit: Confirmed; after enabling execution disable option within bios, installer booted without issues and the install is currently ongoing.

    • RE: How to enable vgpu on Nvidia T4 after the nvidia drivers and vgpu binary from xenserver are installed?

      Ok, found a solution.

      Seems there is nothing I could do via cli or xo-ce to see the virtual GPUs, had to install xcp-ng center, specifically from:
      https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/files/13800584/XCP-NG-Center-2023-Release.zip

      Using the center, I was able to assign the GPU to the VM and everything worked well from then on.
      Now to figure out licensing....

    • How to enable vgpu on Nvidia T4 after the nvidia drivers and vgpu binary from xenserver are installed?

      Re: nVidia Tesla P4 for vgpu and Plex encoding

      Thanks for various guides I was able to install the driver on xcp-ng 8.3
      I've used NVIDIA-vGPU-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-570.124.03.x86_64.iso
      and vgpu-7.4.16-1.xs8.x86_64.rpm (from xen server)

      The driver seems to work and T4 is detected

      Unfortunately the card doesn't seem to be in vGPU mode:

      # nvidia-smi vgpu -q
      No supported devices in vGPU mode
      

      I'm not sure if "Addressing Mode: Unknown Error" is anything to be concerned about, cannot find anything specific about that.

      #nvidia-smi -q

      I do have SR-IOV enabled in BIOS, but having it disabled didn't seem to change anything.

      Those with nvidia vGPUs, how have you ended up getting xcp-ng to enable the feature?
