- Install XCP-NG Version 8.2.1 (8.3 did not work)
- Install all update yum update
- reboot
- Download NVIDIA vGPU drivers for XenServer 8.2 from NVIDIA site. Version NVIDIA-vGPU-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-550.54.10.x86_64 (Version 17.0)
- Unzip and install rpm from Host-Drivers
- reboot again
- Download free CitrixHypervisor-8.2.0-install-cd.iso from Citrix site
- Open CitrixHypervisor-8.2.0-install-cd.iso with 7-zip, then unzip vgpu binary file from Packages->vgpu....rpm->vgpu....cpio->.->usr->lib64->xen->bin
9.Upload vgpu to XCP-ng host to /usr/lib64/xen/bin and made it executable chmod +x /usr/lib64/xen/bin/vgpu
- Deployed VM with vGPU and it started without any problems
- Copy License File from Nvidia License Portal (*.tok) to C:\program files\Nvidia Corperation\vGPU Licensing\ClientConfigToken
- Install Windows Nvidia Driver on Windows 10 VM (need connection to api.dis.licensing.nvidia.com Port TCP 443, use Nvidia Control Panel to set the hostname and port for Licensing the Nvidia Card)
Works fine for me
If you want to install the NVidia driver on XCP-NG 8.3. Manipulate /etc/xensource-inventory (line PRODUCT_VERSION from 8.3.0 to 8.2.0) during the installation. Then xe-install-supplental-pack NVIDIA-vGPU-CitrixHypervisor-8.2-550.54.16.x86_64.iso.
After installation, change PRODUCT_VERSION back to 8.3.0
The driver now also works in version XCP-NG 8.3
Do not forget to copy the vgpu file to /usr/lib64/xen/bin/vgpu. (change the chmod to 755)
Nvidia vGPU M10 | A16 on XCP-NG 8.3 Beta2 only work without XCP-NG updates. After the update, the error message "An emulator required to run this VM failed to start" appears. It must be due to one of the 76 updates that can be installed. I am trying to find out which update is causing this problem.

Installation XCP-NG RC1 Nvidia 17.1 GPU
install XCP-NG 8.3 RC1
download XenServer Driver Nvidia 17.1 (NVIDIA-GRID-XenServer-8-550.54.16-550.54.15-551.78)
unzip driver and copy host driver (NVIDIA-vGPU-xenserver-8-550.54.16.x86_64.iso) I used winscp to copy the driver to the tmp directory.
download XenServer iso file (https://www.xenserver.com/downloads | XenServer8_2024-06-03.iso)
copy the file (vgpu-7.4.13-1.xs8.x86_64.rpm) in the packages directory ! Do not use CitrixHypervisor-8.2.0-install-cd file vgpu-7.4.8-1.x86_64
unpack file vgpu-7.4.13-1.xs8.x86_64
copy the file \usr\lib64\xen\bin\vgpu (size 129KB) to \usr\lib64\xen\bin\ on your XCP-NG host (chmod 755)
(putty) /tmp/ xe-install-supplemental-pack NVIDIA-vGPU-xenserver-8-550.54.16.x86_64.iso
