  • Supports XenServer 6.2 SP1 and later versions [4].
  • GPU/vPGU functionality is supported for following HVM guest operating systems:
    • Windows 7 (x86 and x64)
    • Windows Server 2008 R2
    • Windows Server 2012
    • Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
    • Windows 8.1 ("Blue") (x86 and x64)
    • Windows Server 2012 R2 (server equivalent of "Blue")
  • CS do not restrict the deployment of GPU enabled VM with guest OS types that are not supported by XS for GPU/vGPU functionality. The deployment would be successful and a GPU/vGPU will get allocated for that VM but due to missing guestOS drivers, that VM would not be able to leverage GPU resources. So, it is recommended to use GPU enabled service offering only with supported guest operating systems.
  • NVIDIA GRID K1 (with 16GiB video RAM) AND K2 (with 8 GiB of video RAM) cards supports homogeneous virtual GPUs i.e. at any given time, the vGPUs resident on a single physical GPU must be all of the same type. However, this restriction doesn't extend across physical GPUs on the same card. Each physical GPU on a K1 or K2 may host different types of virtual GPU at the same time. For example, a GRID K2 card has two physical GPUs, and supports four types of virtual GPU; GRID K200, GRID K220Q, GRID K240Q, AND GRID K260Q [3].

Logging and debugging

  • All the VM activities involving GPU would be logged at different log levels (INFO, ERROR, DEBUG) in management server log file.
