@Moxified I had a disk lock in VMware while transferring windows vm’s and restarting XOA released the lock for me.

@planedrop we are far from home lab and exploring alternatives to VMware because of a 7 digit yearly subscription fee . We use gpu’s in around 75 host to reduce cpu load and free up cpu resources. We have a lot of single thread applications requiring higher speed and fewer cores so gpu’s free up the resources for that software

@olivierlambert I was researching these flex series gpu’s for the “vgpu” function and to avoid the hassle/ licensing of Nvidia. The flex 140 is listed as compatible (by dell) with my PowerEdge R760 server’s. Is support for this or another gpu (for vgpu not just pci pass through) in development or planned?

ok, thanks. No local storage all shared iscsi storage

any tips or potential issues for removing a master host from a pool?

Will this cause any down time, like requiring the secondary to be restarted when promoted to master or temporary loss of communication from bonded networks, iscsi shared storage issues? and do i need to remove the support license from the host before i do this?

@planedrop I'm using "citrix" tools for windows and I haven't noticed any of mine reporting any cached ram. Yet

No problem.. Not sure if it’s related or not but worth a shot so you don’t have to wait several hours for it to unlock

I have not tried the flex (yet, but I can install and test it) do you have an alternative to recommend? I’m open to suggestions on that as well. I just seen the open source drivers and no additional licensing. Majority of the current set up requiring vgpu is done with nivida and VMware…… not everything we have needs gpu but the systems Using or needing the extra power from graphics are in windows and being used 24/7 and just accessed on site by thin client’s. we moved away from any type of cloud provided daas to have better reliability on critical systems and prevent down time.

@olivierlambert I do not mind purchasing the GPU, installing on a test server (R760 2x Intel cpu) and providing ssh or a vpn to this server if that would help?

Doesn’t the status history go back 1 year?

Thanks for the info I’ll restart it and clear it
