It’s simple as of now if u take currently there are 2 technologies
vSGA – will support 50% H/W and 50 S/W GPU as of now. Need to wait and see in feature outcomes of Nvidia and ESXi % of H/W GPU utilization may increase.
However advantages of K1 and K2 is you can set power state to max
Kindly run the following command and check and share the result will it helps are not currently these is not supported by Quadro but on GRID K1 and K2 it should.
nvidia-smi -pl 0
I am running it on quadro 4000 I am getting following error
~ # nvidia-smi -pl 0
Changing power management limit is not supported for GPU: 0000:05:00.0.
Treating as warning and moving on.
Changing power management limit is not supported for GPU: 0000:42:00.0.
Treating as warning and moving on.
All done.
There is one more technology vDGA currently not supported by VMware View
in this technology
K1 – 4Entry level users
K2 – 2 High end users
this is more like assigning 1 GPU for 1 VM
vSGA is memory based sharing. vDGA is GPU based sharing.
