Hi,
We are setting up a system with vDGA using nvidia grid k2, but have some issues.
We have one host (Fujitsu Primergy RX2540 M1) with that card, and that esxi host ir unning the following version
View 6.0.1 build-2088845
This information is displayed within vCenter
ESXi 5.5.0 2143827
If i connecto to the ESXi "web" site it says the following version:
You are running Fujitsu Customized Image v320-1 (based on ESXi 5.5 Update 2 VMKernel Release Build 2068190)
We have checked the bios that VT-d is enabled, and if we do a "lspci" on the esxi host we get
0000:04:00.0 Display controller: nVidia Corporation GK104GL [GRID K2]
0000:05:00.0 Display controller: nVidia Corporation GK104GL [GRID K2]
We do not have a module called "vtddmar", im not sure if this is a problem ?
Since we are going to use this as vDGA we dont need to install the nvidia driver for ESXi i guess.
When i check under ESXi host>Manage>PCI Devices I have enabled both GPUs and restarted the host, the status is then "This device is available for VMs to use"
Have added the following to the vm vmx file: pciHole.start = "2048" since the VM has more than 2GB of memory, have added this to the bottom of the vmx file.
When we now try to start the VM we get the error message as seen in the image below, so my question is am i doing something wrong? Or is my hardware and ESXi versions not compatible ?
